  • Nicholson, Hannah (2019) Print and Politics in the East Midlands
    Print and Politics in the East Midlands Constituencies c.1790-1832 Hannah Nicholson Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Abstract This thesis is an examination of printed political ephemera, produced and distributed during election canvasses between 1790 and 1832. Previous studies have highlighted the popular, public nature of election rituals during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, although, to date, few have fully appreciated the level and range of printed literature produced during the course of canvassing. This thesis uses a broad range of printed and manuscript evidence including political ephemera, local newspapers, election receipts, and correspondences from borough and county elections, highlighting the level of work which went into orchestrating a canvass in the unreformed era, especially by candidates, their political agents, and printers. The focus of this study is the borough and county constituencies of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, with particular emphasis on borough elections. Between 1790 and 1832, this region, along with the rest of the country, underwent profound social and political change, and so this thesis not only acts as an important test case for the operation of local political culture nationally, but also represents the first comprehensive study of printed electoral culture for the region. The central premise of this thesis is fourfold. Firstly, it aims to reinstate the importance of printed canvasses to the study of political culture and electoral politics, which have often been seen as secondary to the local press. Secondly, it argues that, such was the fast paced nature of elections and electioneering that, in comparison to provincial newspapers, handbills, broadsides, songs and i ballads offered a much more versatile form of communication between candidates and voters.

Utilising the local press as the primary source enables me to situate the discourses on the cinema building and the practice of cinema-going within the broader socio-cultural contexts and history of the city.

  • The Great Reform Act and the Modernization of British Politics: the Impact of Conservative Associations, 1835–1841
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive The Great Reform Act and the Modernization of British Politics: The Impact of Conservative Associations, 1835–1841 Matthew Cragoe hen did nationally based party alignments become significant at Wthe grassroots of British politics? The issue has divided historians. For some, the dramatic rise in contested elections following the Great Reform Act, and the unprecedented partisanship of the enlarged electorate, suggest a real modernization of British politics in the 1830s.1 John Philips, for example, has argued that the measure “helped orient popular politics more con- sistently around national issues,” and Frank O’Gorman and Philip Salmon have both pointed to the way in which the system of annual voter registration introduced in 1832 worked toward a similar end: not only did local parties develop new machinery to deal with registration, but their annual canvass of those eligible for the franchise, in Salmon’s words, “brought the agency of party into every elector’s home and . the politics of Westminster much closer to the electorate.”2 “By Matthew Cragoe is professor of modern history at the University of Hertfordshire. Having written widely on nineteenth-century electoral culture and the twentieth-century Conservative Party, he is currently leading a project that explores the cultural dimensions of parliamentary enclosure and landscape change in the English midlands, 1700–1900. The author would like to thank Paul Readman, Rohan MacWilliam, and the JBS’s anonymous referees for their constructive comments on an earlier draft of this article. 1 Derek Beales suggests that while the number of electors rose by 50 percent, the number of active voters increased by 200–500 percent (“The Electorate before and after 1832: The Right to Vote, and the Opportunity,” Parliamentary History 11, no.

  • Nottinghamshire and the Great Peace
    1 NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AND THE GREAT PEACE: REFLECTIONS ON THE END OF THE NAPOLEONIC WARS, 1814-1815* Richard A Gaunt University of Nottingham This article explores Nottingham’s ambivalent attitude to the battle of Waterloo, which concluded hostilities between England and France in June 1815. It poses a contrast between Nottingham’s muted reaction to Waterloo and the town’s exuberant commemoration of the general peace between England and France the year before. The article considers different reasons for this, including Nottingham’s response to earlier set-piece battles on the continent and its reaction to domestic political events. The article explores Nottingham’s commitment to radical politics before 1815, as symbolised in its continued petitioning of parliament, and its patriotic commitment to the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. The article argues that it was the disappointment of the town’s hopes for economic relief, following the end of hostilities in 1814, combined with fears of a further prolonged period of conflict and delays to parliamentary reform, which helps to explain the town’s attitude during Napoleon’s ‘Hundred Days’ (March-June 1815) and after Waterloo. Keywords: Waterloo, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Luddism, Economy, Napoleon Bonaparte, Peninsular Wars, Peace, Nottingham Journal, Nottingham Review One of the most striking consequences of the bicentenary commemorations of the battle of Waterloo has been the rise of interest in its domestic ramifications. Waterloo has always attracted its fair share of military strategists,

  • W.E. Gladstone Exhibition Boards
    W.E. Gladstone The Grand Old Man in Nottinghamshire William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98) was probably the most famous political figure of the nineteenth century. Initially a Conservative, he became a committed Liberal and served as Prime Minister of Britain and Ireland four times between 1868 and 1894. He was popularly known as ‘The People’s Illustration of the ceremony, from Illustrated London News, William’, and, in later life, as the ‘Grand Old Man’, vol. 71, 6 October 1877. or more simply as ‘G.O.M.’ W.E. Gladstone from Thomas Archer, William Ewart Gladstone and his contemporaries (1898), vol. 1 (University Special Collection DA563.4.A7). Born in Liverpool of Scottish ancestry, Gladstone died at his wife’s family home in Hawarden, Wales, but Nottinghamshire was the location of his earliest political success and retained a special interest for him throughout his life. This exhibition commemorates the bicentenary of Gladstone’s birth on 29 December 1809. It demonstrates the diversity of Gladstone’s links with the county and the city of Nottingham, and uses local material to illustrate a few of the themes that engaged Gladstone in his political career.

  • THE PRESS in LEICESTER C.1790-1850 by DEREK FRASER
    THE PRESS IN LEICESTER c.1790-1850 by DEREK FRASER Provincial newspapers in the nineteenth century could both guide and reflect local public opinion : "Newspapers are first what public opinion makes them; then by a peculiar reaction they make public opinion what they please, so long as they act with discretion and seem to follow while in reality they lead."1 So wrote one editor; but his view was not supported by the Leicester Chronicle: "obliged as its conductors often are rather to mirror the world as it is than to picture it as it should be - compelled to accompany the main body in the march of improvement instead of going a step in advance, as they frequently would, it may always be assumed that they represent with general fidelity the views of their supporters." 2 Whether newspapers fall into the first or the second category they are still worthy sources for measuring local opinion, and it is the story of the Leicester newspapers in the period from c. 1790 to 1850 that this article will attempt to tell. The main Tory newspaper and the oldest in Leicester was the Leicester 'journal, begun by John Gregory in 1753. Two years later, when Gregory joined forces with Samuel Cresswell of Nottingham, the paper became a joint venture, the Leicester and Nottingham 'journal. For thirteen years the same paper served both towns until, in 1769, Cresswell began publishing on his own, but "Nottingham" remained in the title until 1787. Gregory was a well-respected local figure, becoming mayor in 1779,3 and his newspaper was a typical eighteenth-century print lacking anything in the way of original comment until his death in 1789 when his son and namesake took over.
