First published in 1988, The Radical Soldier's Tale is both an
introduction to and a transcript of his 'Memoirs', written after
his retirement in 1881. In this autobiography he presents his life
as a soldier during the Sikh Wars, his life as a policeman, and the
ideologies which divided people from each other in the societies he
had known and read about. Carolyn Steedman introduces the 'Memoirs'
by placing the document in its textual context, as well as the
context of history and politics, and shows how it directs
fascinating light on popular political thought in the mid-Victorian
years. In her introduction she looks closely at the kind of
narratives people have access to in different social circumstances
and the stories they tell themselves to explain who they are. This
book will be of particular interest to students of Victorian
history and politics.
