Chartism, the British mass movement for democratic and social
rights in the 1830s and 1840s, was profoundly shaped by the radical
tradition from which it emerged. Yet, little attention has been
paid to how Chartists saw themselves in relation to this diverse
radical tradition or to the ways in which they invented their own
tradition. Paine, Cobbett and other 'founding fathers', dead and
alive, were used and in some cases abused by Chartists in their own
attempts to invent a radical tradition. By drawing on new and
exciting work in the fields of visual and material culture;
cultures of heroism, memory and commemoration; critical heritage
studies; and the history of political thought, this book explores
the complex cultural work that radical heroes were made to perform.
