This book brings together Dorothy Thompson's most important essays
on English social history, written over the last 25 years, many
previously unpublished. Thompson analyzes the Chartist movement,
not simply as a political programme, however significant, but as
the mass phenomenon which offers the focus for an "elucidation of
the concept of class." Thompson is also concerned with Queen
Victoria: how did a woman holding the highest office in the land
affect British women and was it a factor in the non-republican
stance of radical politics of the time? The essays are complemented
by an introduction in which Dorothy Thompson reflects on the
politics of the period in which she wrote them, on her own
political involvements and on the relationship of her work as a
historian to that of her husband, E.P. Thompson. The book should
make a useful introductory text for students of history. It
includes Thompson's essays on women's activism in early radical
politics and 19th century popular politics. The book should also
attract a wide general readership.
