The Chartists is a major contribution to our understanding not just
of Chartism but of the whole experience of working-class people in
mid-nineteenth century Britain. The book looks at who the Chartists
were, what they hoped for from the political power they strove to
gain, and why so many of them felt driven toward the use of
physical force. It also studies the reactions of the middle and
upper classes and the ways in which the two sides - radical and
establishment - influenced each other's positions. This book is a
uniquely authoritative discussion of the questions that Chartism
raises for the historian; and for the historian, student and
general reader alike it provides a vivid insight into the lives of
working people as they passed through the traumas of the industrial
revolution.
