    This book revisits Britain's much-studied 'age of reform', before and after the Great Reform Act of 1832, bringing together work by leading younger scholars. It shows that 'reformers' hoped to reform diverse institutions and practices - not only parliament, government, the law and the church but also, for example, medicine and the theatre.
