Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines electoral corruption and the flawed election system in eighteenth-century Britain. Significant for its detailed overview of the era's political landscape, it analyzes the motivations of voters and the means by which candidates won favor. Exploring contemporary satirical prints and an extensive archive of personal letters, the author reveals the tension between the era's democratic aspirations and the persistence of oligarchic practices. Ultimately, the book suggests that the democratic reforms of the nineteenth century, such as the Secret Ballot Act 1872, were necessary to establish a genuinely representative electoral system.
