This book explores the hopes, desires, and imagined futures that
characterized British radicalism in the 1790s, and the resurfacing
of this sense of possibility in the following decades. The
articulation of "Jacobin" sentiments reflected the emotional
investments of men and women inspired by the French Revolution and
committed to political transformation. The authors emphasize the
performative aspects of political culture, and the spaces in which
mobilization and expression occurred - including the club room,
tavern, coffeehouse, street, outdoor meeting, theater, chapel,
courtroom, prison, and convict ship. America, imagined as a site of
republican citizenship, and New South Wales, experienced as a space
of political exile, widened the scope of radical dreaming. Part 1
focuses on the political culture forged under the shifting
influence of the French Revolution. Part 2 explores the afterlives
of British Jacobinism in the year 1817, in early Chartist
memorialization of the Scottish "martyrs" of 1794, and in the
writings of E. P. Thompson. The relationship between popular
radicals and the Romantics is a theme pursued in several chapters;
a dialogue is sustained across the disciplinary boundaries of
British history and literary studies. The volume captures the
revolutionary decade's effervescent yearning, and its unruly
persistence in later years.
