Published in 1968. Interest in the Luddite machine-breaking and
food riots of 1812 which took place in the North and Midlands
continues unabated. Peel was a pioneer local historian, collecting
oral accounts from participants and old inhabitants, as well as
studying the printed evidence carefully. In the introduction to the
new edition, E. P. Thomopson clams that Peel's general account of
Luddism in that part of Yorkshire in which he was interested
(around Huddersfield) has proved to be more accurate than the
analysis of Luddism as a purely industrial phenomenon given by
twentieth-century historians, including the Hammonds. This book
will be useful to historians of working-class movements.
