Print Politics was the first literary study of the culture of the
popular radical movement for parliamentary reform in the early
decades of the nineteenth century. The period was characterized by
popular agitation and repressive political measures including
trials for seditious and blasphemous libel. Kevin Gilmartin
explores the styles and strategies of radical opposition in the
periodical press, and in the public culture of the time. He argues
that writers and editors including William Cobbett, T. J. Wooler,
Richard Carlile, John Wade, and Leigh Hunt committed themselves to
a complex, flexible, and often contradictory project of independent
political opposition. They sought to maintain a political
resistance uncompromised by the influence of a corrupt 'system',
even while addressing and imitating its practices to further their
oppositional ends.
