Conservatism was born as an anguished attack on democracy. So argues Don Herzog in this detailed exploration of England's responses to the French Revolution. Poisoning the Minds of the Lower Orders ushers the reader into the politically lurid world of Regency England. The author weaves social and intellectual history and brings to life the social practices of the Enlightenment. During the Period, people developed an avid taste for reading in library, coffeehouses, and schools and boldly dared to argue about politics. Conservatives like Edmund Burke was horrified. He and others felt conservatives should defer to tradition and be comforted by illusions. The highly praised book challenges our commitments to and anxieties about democracy.
