The Anti-Jacobin

The Anti-Jacobin was a political publication in early 19th-century Britain that criticized radical revolutionary ideas from France, especially during the French Revolution. It aimed to defend monarchy, tradition, and social order by exposing the dangers of revolutionary excesses and advocating for conservative values. Through essays, satire, and commentary, it sought to rally support for stability and oppose reform movements seen as threats to established authority. The Anti-Jacobin played a role in shaping public opinion against radical change during a time of political upheaval in Europe.
