A study of the period 1832 to 1931 and the extension of the franchise. It is designed to fulfil the AS and A Level specifications in place from September 2000.

Not Bad could be better
This book gives a great insight into the extension of the franchise throughout the hundred years that it covers. The book also shows how the different classes e.g. wroking class, middle class and women thought to get the vote in Britian. The problem with this book is that it is quite basic and dosen't cover all the areas in greta detail.

Well worth picking up for AS/A2 Level Teaching.
A good book for all your British History needs over the period, I teach History and Politics and have found this a worthy core texts for my students who do the 1830-1931 period. Recommended, as is Sean Lang's Parliamentary Reform.

A Great Help
I found this incredibly useful for my studies, particularly the third section on representation and democracy 1832-1931. It's very clearly written and breaks downs the key areas of historical intepretation and analysis which you need to get a grip of inorder to achieve a top grade. As a previous reviewer has noted it may well be a little thinner on the detail than some A level texts, but there is more than enough to fill any exam essay several times over. My only quibble is that at the end of each of it's three main sections there are questions in the style of either AQA or Edexcel exam boards. However the Edexcel versions aren't correct, either they are source based questions when they shouldn't be or vice versa. But no matter, the content here is what counts. And it's very good.
