Synopsis

The Access to History series is the most popular and trusted series for AS and A level history students. The new editions combine all the strengths of this well-loved series with a new design and features that allow all students access to the content and study skills needed to achieve exam success. This title is a new, amended version of 'Reforming Britain 1815-50', now updated for the 2008 OCR AS specification. It focuses on the key political, social and economic questions raised by industrialisation in England and the ways in which governments responded to the increasing pressure for change. It begins by looking at the threat posed by Radicals before the Chartists and then goes on to examine reforms for children, factories and public health before assessing the demands and achievements of the Chartists. Throughout the book key dates, terms and issues are highlighted, and historical interpretations of key debates are outlined. Summary diagrams are included to consolidate knowledge and understanding of the period, and exam-style questions and tips written by examiners provide the opportunity to develop exam skills.
