  Sociability and democratic practices in Great Britain, 1760-1850

  Des mouvements populaires associés à la figure de John Wilkes dans les années 1760, aux Chartistes des années 1830 et 1840, un nombre croissant de revendications s'exprime en-dehors des grandes institutions étatiques et ecclésiastiques (cour, Parlement, Église), et souvent contre elles. Dans les années 1780, les partisans de la réforme parlementaire s'unissent en associations de comtés en Angleterre, en sociétés de burgh reform en Écosse.

  "An Gorta Mór", the Great Irish Famine (1845-1851)

  The Great Irish Famine is recognized today as the most significant event inmodern Irish history. From the first appearance of the potato blight in 1845 to its disappearance in 1849 it is estimated that the country lost about a quarter of its population when a million died and a further million emigrated.The Famine, its causes, its demographic and migratory consequences for Ireland and the world and the (in)action of the British government are all topics which have become major political, historiographical and memorial issues. Interpretations have varied and given rise to lengthy debates between those adopting an anti-British nationalist position and others proposing revisionist versions of these events.
