HERZOG, Don POISONING THE MINDS OF THE LOWER ORDERS.
New Jersey Princeton University Press 1998 0691048312 / 9780691048314 First Edition Hardcover Fine Fine
xvi+559pp. The author combines social and intellectual history to show how conservatism was born as an anguished attack on democracy. He describes the social practices of the Enlightenment - how circulating libraries and Sunday Schools developed an avid taste for reading and in coffeee house, ale houses and debating socities, people boldly dared to argue about politics. Such conservatives as Edmund Burke gaped with horror fearing what radicals applauded as the rise of rationality, was really popular stupidity or worse. A detailed study of England's responses to the French Revolution, chapters include A Conservative Inheritance; Of Coffee Houses and Schoolmasters; Poison and Antidote; A Guide to the Menagerie: Women and Workers; Wollstonecraft's Hair; The Trouble with Hairdressers, etc. Includes Index. (Heavy volume, may require additional postage).
