Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a study of English popular radicalism during the period between the anti-Jacobin government 'Terror' of the 1790s and the beginnings of Chartism. Challenging distinctions between 'high' and 'low' culture, Iain McCalman reveals the links between the political underworld and literary culture, poverty, crime, and prophetic religion.
