Considering how political identity intertwines with craft,
ethnicity, gender, and class, this study explores the development
and decline of Chartism between 1830 and 1860 through the
perspective of plebeian intellectuals and activists in
Ashton-under-Lyne and other militant localities of Greater
Manchester and Lancashire. Challenging the approach of Patrick
Joyce, Gareth Stedman-Jones, and James Vernon, this account
questions myths and memories and provides a cultural and
sociological view of the period.

are company histories and detailed descriptions of nearly 500 of
these amazing paperweights produced over the last 150 years.
Chinese copies from the 1930s and the latest fakes and copies are
