Gregory Claeys explores the reception of the French Revolution in Britain through the medium of its leading interpreters. Claeys argues that the major figures—Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin and John Thelwall—collectively laid the foundations for political debate for the following century, and longer.
