'Stuart Andrews's analysis of how the British press reacted to the French Revolution shows that the rhetoric of the age can still be discussed clearly and untechnically without any loss of scholarly rigour. Convinced of the importance of language in shaping what happened, he brings a lucid style of his own, and a sharp eye for a telling quotation, to this wide-ranging survey. The result is a sure guide to a decade of debate which laid the intellectual foundations of modern politics throughout the English speaking world.' - William Doyle, Department of Historical Studies, University of Bristol 'Will become essential for students of the early romantic era and the tumultuous 1790s'. - Kenneth Johnston, Department of English, Indiana University
