This book takes a fresh look at the progressive interventions of
writers in the nineteenth century. From Cobbett to Dickens and
George Eliot, and including a host of lesser known figures -
popular novelists, poets, journalists, political activists -
writers shared a commitment to exploring the potential of
literature as a medium in which to imagine new and better worlds.
The essays in this volume ask how we should understand these
interventions and what are their legacies in the twentieth and
twenty first centuries? Inspired by the work of the radical
literary scholar, the late Sally Ledger, this volume provides a
commentary on the political traditions that underpin the literature
of this complex period, and examines the interpretive methods that
are needed to understand them. This timely book contributes to our
appreciation of the radical traditions that underpin our literary
past.
