First published in 1984, this book provides the first full study of
the carefully planned rising of south Wales miners and ironworkers
in 1839 and of its collapse at the confrontation with soldiers of
the 45th regiment of Newport. It examines not only the rising
itself, but the factors that made it, if not inevitable, then
likely. It argues that while the workers' movement was an immediate
response to the grim circumstances of the workplace, it was also
deeply rooted in the centuries-old Welsh experience of repression.
This title will be of particular interest to students of Victorian
political and social history and well as the history of Wales.
