A Mad, Bad, and Dangerous People?
A Mad, Bad, and Dangerous People? England 1783-1846, published in 2006, is part of the New Oxford History of England. Tristram Hunt, in a 2006 review, called it a "lively and wide-ranging study that is mercifully free of dry chronology" and a "comprehensive, intriguing and challenging volume"; he notes it includes "studies of Pitt, Fox, Liverpool and Canning" as well as "accounts of phrenology, mesmerism and even early 19th-century flagellatory literature" and a "welcome concentration on economic and business matters".
