After Chartism : Class and Nation in English Radical Politics 1848-1874

Omtale

This book charts the course of working- and middle-class radical politics in England from the fall of Chartism in 1848 to the fall of Gladstone's Liberal government in 1874. The author argues that these years saw the gradual radicalisation of middle-class liberals, rather than the demoralisation of working-class culture.
