Product Description
Hostile members of Parliament, police spies, mass arrests, picked juries, and unsanitary jails-working people in the United Kingdom faced such perils during the early Victorian period and responded by organizing the Chartist movement, a democratic and social campaign documented in this collection of essays. Attention is given to the regional incarnations of the movement and important Chartist lectures. A glossary of historical references and notes on further reading are also provided.
