This book is a wide-ranging survey of the rise of mass movements
for democracy and workers' rights in northern England from 1789 to
1848. It is a provocative narrative of the closing down of public
space and dispossession from place. It offers historical parallels
for contemporary debates about protests in public space and
democracy and anti-globalisation movements. In response to fears of
revolution from 1789 to 1848, the British government and local
authorities prohibited mass working-class political meetings and
societies. Protesters faced the privatisation of public space. The
'Peterloo Massacre' of 1819 marked a turning point. Radicals, trade
unions and the Chartists fought back by challenging their exclusion
from public spaces, creating their own sites and eventually
constructing their own buildings or emigrating to America. New
evidence of protest in rural areas of northern England, including
rural Luddism, is also uncovered. -- .
