Product Description
Gregory Claeys explores the reception of the French Revolution in Britain through the medium of its leading interpreters. Claeys argues that the major figures - Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin and John Thelwall - collectively laid the foundations for political debate for the following century, and longer.

The Debate from the elites
This excellent review covers unsurprising material but is a fine synthesis. It mentions little of the enormous wealth of material and could benefit from further references.
