In the current turbulent period, when Western governments are once again grappling with how to balance security and civil liberty against the threat of inflammatory ideas and actions during a period of international political and religious tension, it is timely to re-examine the motives, dilemmas, thinking and actions of governments facing similar problems during the 'Age of Revolutions'. The volume begins with a number of essays exploring the cases tried in England and Scotland in 1793-94 and examining those political trials from fresh angles (including their implications for legal developments, their representation in the press, and the emotion and theperformances they generated in court). Subsequent sections widen the scope of the collection both chronologically (through the period up to the Reform Act of 1832 and extending as far as the end of the nineteenth century) and geographically (to Revolutionary France, republican Ireland, the United States and Canada). These comparative and longue durée approaches will stimulate new debate on the political trials of Georgian Britain and of the north Atlantic world more generally as well as a reassessment of their significance. This book deliberately incorporates essays by scholars working within and across a number of different disciplines including Law, Literary Studies and Political Science. 410 0$aPalgrave Histories of Policing, Punishment and Justice,$x2946-6083 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aImperialism 606 $aPrison and Punishment 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aCrime and Society 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 14$aPrison and Punishment. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 676 $a345.730231 702 $aDavis$b Michael T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMacleod$b Emma$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPentland$b Gordon$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337834903321 996 $aPolitical trials in an age of revolutions$91743135 997 $aUNINA
