In their struggle for universal suffrage, the Chartists adapted
language to further their cause. Adopting the prevailing keywords
of the time and reformulating them within their own cultural
environment, the Chartists defined and redefined their own
political identity and interpreted the situation they lived in.
This book is a case study of Chartism as an example of how radical
political movements present themselves in language and how they
appear in networks of meaning. Chartist vocabulary and keywords are
studied in their historical context and decoded according to
political, social and cultural significance. Set in constitutional
politics of the time, the Chartist network of keywords includes
allusions to a radical past and reaches out into an imaginary
future of a liberal market economy and social policy. The three
main concerns in the Chartist struggle were the individual, Britain
as a nation and the influence of political movements abroad.
