A landmark work in social and political history, Ideology and Popular Protest argues that popular movements throughout history were not merely spontaneous outbursts of discontent but were shaped by distinct ideological frameworks. George Rudé chronicles the role of ideology — both inherited tradition and derived doctrine — in driving collective action among the lower classes from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, drawing on examples from England, France, and beyond. With the rigour of a seasoned historian, Rudé presents a compelling framework for understanding how ordinary people absorbed, adapted, and acted upon political ideas in times of social upheaval. The work remains a foundational text in the study of popular radicalism and social movements, celebrated for its clarity and its ability to bridge intellectual and social history.
