Glorious Causes - Swindells, the late Julia (Formerly Director of English Studies, Formerly Director of English Studies, Homerton College, Cambridge)

Glorious Causes explores the British nation as a stage for reform in the late Georgian era. Liberation movements for social and political change, for slaves, for factory and rural workers, for women, and for the vote, drew their energies crucially from theatre as well as political agitation, together creating the drama of reform.
