Cet article cherche à interroger la façon dont la radicalisation de la Révolution française fit évoluer le débat au sein des sociétés de réforme britannique, c’est-à-dire, en partant d’un débat sur le rapport entre l’individu et l’État, pour aboutir à une discussion sur les avancées morales nécessaires pour devenir citoyen. Cette évolution sera replacée dans le contexte de la réaction du gouvernement britannique face au mouvement pour la réforme parlementaire, et le besoin perçu par les radicaux de se défendre face aux accusations à leur encontre de déchéance morale. Nous chercherons également à démontrer que la Terreur en France a engendré des interrogations au sein de la population britannique quant à la capacité des citoyens ayant vécu sous un régime monarchique à atteindre le niveau de vertu requis dans un État régénéré. |
