Professor Rosenblatt's The Chartist Movement was the first
serious study of Chartism, using the techniques of modern
scholarship, to appear in English. The book comprises a detailed
account of the history of the movement, dealing mainly with the
period from 1837 until the Chartist riots at Newport, South Wales,
in November 1839.
As well as describing the political, industrial and social
conditions that gave birth to the Chartist movement, this work
contains extremely useful statistical tables of the 543 persons who
were convicted for offences committed in the furtherance of
Chartism between January 1839 and June 1840.
This is a particularly satisfactory piece of work as regards
sketches of the leaders of the movement and of the spirit in which
they preached the gospel of revolt.
