Celebrities, heroes and champions explores the role of the popular
politician in British and Irish society from the Napoleonic Wars to
the Second Reform Act of 1867. Covering movements for parliamentary
reform up to and including Chartism, Catholic Emancipation,
transatlantic Anti-Slavery and the Anti-Corn Law League, as well as
the receptions of international celebrities such as Lajos Kossuth
and Giuseppe Garibaldi, it offers a unique perspective on the
connections between politics and historical cultures of fame and
celebrity. This book will interest students and scholars of
Britain, Ireland, continental Europe and North America in the
nineteenth century, as well as general readers with an interest in
the history of popular politics. Its exploration of the
relationship between politics and celebrity, and the methods
through which public reputations have been promoted and manipulated
for political ends, have clear contemporary relevance. -- .
