ISBN: 9780850366259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores some of the main channels and by-ways in the history of Chartism a middle class movement in mid-19th-century Britain that attempted to bring about political reform.

Written in an open, accessible style, this...

The People's Farm, English Radical Agrarianism 1775-1840
ISBN: 9780956482754 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book traces the development of agrarian ideas from the 1770s through to Chartism, and seeks to explain why, in an era of industrialization and urban growth, land remained one of the major issues in popular politics. Malcolm Chase considers the relationship between 'land consciousness' and early socialism; attempts to create alternative communities; and contemporary perceptions of nature and the environment. He concludes that, far from being an anachronistic, utopian, and reactionary movement, agrarianism was an integral part of the working class experience and of radical politics. The...

1820: Disorder and Stability in the United Kingdom
ISBN: 9780719087417 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 1820 is about much more than a single year. Integrating in detail the experiences of both Britain and Ireland, Chase provides a compelling narrative and analysis of the United Kingdom in a year of European revolution. This fascinating study charts the events and forces that tested the government almost to its limits, and the processes and mechanisms through which order was maintained. Locating the Queen Caroline divorce crisis within a broader analysis of the challenges confronting the government, it places that much-investigated episode in a new light. It illuminates both the pivotal Tory...

Early Trade Unionism: Fraternity, Skill and the Politics of Labour
ISBN: 9781859282434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Once the heartland of British labour history, trade unionism has been marginalised in much recent scholarship. In a critical survey from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, this book argues for its reinstatement. Trade unionism is shown to be both intrinsically important and to provide a window onto the broader historical landscape; the evolution of trade union principles and practices is traced from the seventeenth century to mid-Victorian times. Underpinning this survey is an explanation of labour organisation that reaches back to the fourteenth century. Throughout, the emphasis...

The Life and Literary Pursuits of Allen Davenport: With a Further Selection of the Author's Work
ISBN: 9781138337411 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1994, this volume features an autobiography of Allen Davenport, a key figure linking Chartism with the French Revolution, along with some of his selected works. Davenport was an important propagandist for agrarian reform, a critical follower of Robert Owen, one of the first male supporters of the feminist causes and birth control and a leading member of the revolutionary underground movement in Regency London. He was a prolific author, political journalist and poet. His autobiography, published in 1845, has long been presumed lost - historians have had to make do with...

Chartism: A new history
ISBN: 9780719060878 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Chartism, the mass movement for democratic rights, dominated British domestic politics in the late 1830s and 1840s. It mobilised over three million supporters at its height. Few modern European social movements, certainly in Britain, have captured the attention of posterity to quite the extent it has done. Encompassing moments of great drama, it is one of the very rare points in British history where it is legitimate to speculate how close the country came to revolution. It is also pivotal to debates around continuity and change in Victorian Britain, gender, language and identity....

Thomas Spence: The Poor Man's Revolutionary
ISBN: 9780957000599 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 2014 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of an important and original voice in the history of radicalism: Thomas Spence. Spence described himself as 'the poor man's advocate' but he may equally be described as 'the poor man's revolutionary', for what he advocated was a dramatic over-turning of the existing social order. Spence wasn't interested in compromise, with reforms and half-freedoms. Spence's story is a rags to rags tale of defiance and ingenuity. Today Spence's name is little known but this in no way reflects his significance. In the first two decades of the nineteenth century it...
