Jon Mee explores the popular democratic movement that emerged in
the London of the 1790s in response to the French Revolution.
Central to the movement's achievement was the creation of an idea
of 'the people' brought into being through print and publicity.
Radical clubs rose and fell in the face of the hostile attentions
of government. They were sustained by a faith in the press as a
form of 'print magic', but confidence in the liberating potential
of the printing press was interwoven with hard-headed deliberations
over how best to animate and represent the people. Ideas of
disinterested rational debate were thrown into the mix with
coruscating satire, rousing songs, and republican toasts. Print
personality became a vital interface between readers and print
exploited by the cast of radicals returned to history in vivid
detail by Print, Publicity, and Popular Radicalism in the 1790s.
