About this title

Review:

'represent a major contribution to the literature and promise to help shape the next generation of interpretations concerning the movement that was the first great class-based agitation in British history ...There is no question that Chartist historians will be in his debt.' The Historical Journal 'Few scholars can match Claeys's ability to render 19th-century radicalism and socialism coherent' London Review of Books 'makes easily available items that are of concern to any student of nineteenth-century radical thought and should certainly be part of any library offering research facilities in the field...it is to be welcomed by teachers and researchers.' Times Higher Education Supplement
