Sir Your name is down amongst the Black hearts in the Black Book
and this is to advise you and the like of you, who are Parson
Justasses, to make your wills Ye have been the Blackguard Enemies
of the People on all occasions, Ye have not yet done as ye ought -
Swing In our increasingly mechanized age, the Swing revolts are a
timely record of the relationship between technological advance,
labour and poverty. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution,
capitalism swept from the cities into the countryside, and tensions
mounted between agricultural workers and employers. From 1830 on, a
series of revolts, known as the "Swing" shook England to its core.
Landowners wanting to make their land more profitable started to
use machinery to harvest crops, causing widespread misery among
rural communities. Captain Swing reveals the background to that
upheaval, from its rise to its fall, and shines a light on the
people who tried to change the world and save their livelihoods.
