Overview
Britain's Bloodless Revolutions explores the relationship of the emerging category of Literature to the emerging threat of popular violence after the Bloodless Revolution. The book argues that at a time when the political nature of the Bloodless Revolution became a subject of debate—in the period defined by France's famously bloody revolution—"Literature" emerged as a kind of political institution and constituted a bloodless revolution in its own right.
