In offering a wide-ranging overview of radicalism throughout the
'long' nineteenth century, from the mid eighteenth century to the
aftermath of the First World War, this study contests the methods
and findings of recent revisionist interpretations. Radical
movements faced a more difficult task than other political
formations since they sought not merely to construct an audience -
to find a language which resonated with people's material needs and
greivances - but to mobilise for change. Options were limited as
radicals had to conform to rhetorical, organisational and cultural
norms to ensure popular legitimacy and support. This volume pays
particular attention therefore to contextual factors: to the
changing codes and conventions of political culture and public
space. Through critical engagement with revisionist and
post-modernist interpretations, it throws new light on factors
which often divided liberals from radicals, and indeed, radicals
from themselves. This is an accessible and much-needed introduction
to the new linguistic and cultural approaches to nineteenth-century
popular politics.
