Synopsis

Chartism, the first specifically working-class national movement in Great Britain, took its name from the People's Charter, a bill drafted and published in 1838. The Chartist movement continues to attract considerable attention today. This text contains over 1300 annotated entries including: manuscript material (letters, petitions, notebooks and poetry); contemporary printed sources (books, pamphlets, handbills, posters, Chartist and near-Chartist periodicals); books; articles; and theses written on different aspects of Chartism. The work includes a detailed index, and an introductory essay written by Dorothy Thompson, an eminent historian in the field.
