At its height, during the 1830s and 40s, Chartism inspired a
prodigious literary output, based on its own newspapers and
journals. While some Chartist political writings have been
reprinted, the fiction of the movement has been largely neglected.
Chartist stories represent a unique moment in literary history,
when the radical political energies of a mass movement were fused
with popular narrative forms. The result was a vital, accessible
and popular fiction, informed by an awareness that Chartism had to
forge its own brand of fiction in order to challenge the prevailing
cultural misrepresentation of the working class and radical
politics. This anthology is organised chronologically and includes
a wide range of authors and genres, with complete poems and short
stories as well as extracts from novels and other full-length works
of fiction. The stories are divided into five areas which relect
the range, scope and achievement of Chartism's intellectual and
political imagination: the condition of England; Ireland;
revolution; women and Chartism. The complete collection is set in
an analytical framework and has a long historical introduction by
the editor.
