Reflections on the Bicentenary of the 1819 Massacre of Reformers in
Manchester Two hundred years after the massacre of protestors in
Manchester, known as Peterloo, distinguished scholars of
Romantic-era literature join together in this commemorative volume
to assess the implications of the violence. Contributors explore
how attitudes toward violence and the claims of people to
participate in government were reflected and revised in the verbal
and visual culture of the time. Their analyses provide fresh
insights into cultural engagement as a means of resisting
oppression and a sign of the resilience of humanity in facing
threats and force. Key Features Provides a multi-perspectival,
historical revaluation of the violence of Peterloo Draws on
contemporary theorizations of violence by Judith Butler, Slavoj
Zizek and Rob Nixon to account for the cultural factors leading to
Peterloo Supplements treatments of Peterloo centering on English
history with attention to the significance of that event from
Scottish, Irish and North American perspectives
