Perilous question : the drama of the Great Reform Bill 1832
Fraser, Antonia, 1932-2013
Books, Manuscripts
'Perilous Question' evokes a key period of pre-Victorian political and social history - the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832. For our inconclusive times, there is an attractive resonance with 1832, with its 'rotten boroughs' of Old Sarum and the disappearing village of Dunwich, and its lines of most resistance to reform.
