A radical reform group that emerged in England at the end of the 18th century. It was founded in 1792 by London shoemaker Thomas Hardy and others, with craftsmen and small- and medium-sized merchants as its main members. Behind its formation were the growing demands for parliamentary reform at the time and ideas about human rights inspired by the outbreak of the French Revolution. It was called the Corresponding Society because its purpose was to exchange information among its members and with similar reform groups around the country. It gained more supporters as the French Revolution became more radical, but the Pitt (Junior) government responded with severe repression, and in 1799 the Anti-Assembling Act was enacted, dealing a devastating blow to the society, which disappeared. → Related items Places Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
18世紀末に英国で出現した急進的な改革団体。1792年ロンドンの靴職人トマス・ハーディなどによって職人,中小の商人を主要なメンバーとして結成。その背景には折りから高まっていた議会改革の要求,フランス革命の勃発によって触発された人権思想があった。会員同士ならびに各地の同種類の改革団体と情報の交換を行うことを目的にしたため,〈通信〉協会と呼んだ。フランス革命の急進化に合わせて支持者をふやしたが,ピット(小)政権は厳しい弾圧をもって臨み,1799年には団結禁止法を制定したため,協会は壊滅的な打撃をこうむって消滅した。 →関連項目プレース 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
