  This book explores the main events and developments in Britain during a period of great change. It opens with a survey of Britain during 1815-1851 and the subsequent chapters offer in-depth studies of the major themes of the GCSE syllabus from the vote to the philosophy of utilitarianism . The book aims to help students develop the skills needed to understand the underlying themes of protest and fear which ran through the period and explore the underlying forces of causation and motivation. The text meets the assessment objectives of the enquiry-in-depth aspect of the Schools History Project, syllabus while also being relevant to other 19th-century British history courses. Students are encouraged to assess the role of the individual as both initiator and inhibitor of change and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of early 19th-century Britain and what it must have been like to live through the years surrounding reform.
