JOSEPH COWENOF NEWCASTLEAND RADICAL LIBERALISM JOAN HUGMAN A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTSOF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHUMBRIAAT NEWCASTLE FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOROF PHILOSOPHY JULY 1993 University of Northumbria at Newcastle in collaboration with the University of Leicester JOSEPH COWENOF NEWCASTLEAND RADICAL LIBERALISM This thesis emanated from a conviction that major gaps in our knowledge of Liberal history remain, especially in the realm of regional politics. The research aims to challenge the widely held view that Tyneside was a bastion of Liberalism for the greater part of the nineteenth century. Summary electoral statistics are shown to be wholly unreliable as a description of the prevailing political ethos. The dynastic dominance of the Cowen family and, in particular, the salutary influence of Jose ph Cowen Jnr. (1829-1900) ensured that Tyneside retained its strong radical tradition.. - The work begins by identifying the powerful agrarian and international roots of local politics and hiqhlighting the pivotal role of Thomas Spence-Tyneside was demonstrably in the vanguard of early nineteenth century movements, notably the 1832 Reform Act campaiqn and Chartism. In 1848, Cowen redirected radical energies -into the cause of European nationalism and subsequently regenerated electoral reform through the formation of the Northern Reform Union. Politically ambitious, he sought to to win the confidence and loyalty of the working classes by involving himself in a plethora of 'improving' orgýjnisations. He actively encouraged mechanics institutes to adopt a democratic structure and was responsible for introducing Cooperation into the region in 1859. Under his proprietorship, the Newcastle Chronicle became a powerful - medium for the dissemination of radical ideas, thus extending his influence far beyond the immediate locality. By_ 187,3-"9 Cowen's charismatic leadership was a reckonable forceg uniquely strengthening his bargaining position -and making him powerbroker of the Radical/Liberal alliance. The Irish dimension of Tyneside politics, it is argued, was extremely important. Elsewhere, the Irish vote proved to be,, notoriously unpredictable. His staunch defence of Irish interests9 and close friendship with prominent Irish nationalists ensured that all the available Irish votes were pledged in his favour. The thesis concludes by appraising Cowen's- apparent conversion to an imperialist foreign policy, and considers how far this constituted a compromise of his patriotic radical principles. f CONTENTS Acknowledgments Introduction 1 1.

Words of encouragement and gentle criticism were offered in equal measure, and he allowed me to pillage his stock of books and supply of coffee without complaint. INTRODUCTION At the end of the 1850's the Liberal Party which emerged was a loose alliance of divergent opinions. Generally speaking, the party was dominated by a large Whig section, a wealthy, right wing group of landowners who monopolised most of the key political posts, and a much smaller radical group who represented the-nonconformist9manufacturing interests of the new industrial constituencies. Throughout the nineteenth century the Liberals were able to consistently appeal to a broad cross section of the British public, and elicit massive popular support. For many years historians have been preoccupied with the problem of explaining the phenomenon of popular Liberalism. The profferred explanations appraised working class political allegiances in all their complexity and were appropriately wide ranging and diverse. And yet, notwith- standing the inevitable differences of interpretation, most evinced a common tendency to regard popular Liberalism as a point of departure from earlier 1 political traditions. In short, in order to positively establish the decline of revolutionary fervour and the concomitant harmonization of class relations there was a perceived requirement to demonstrate that radicalism was a moribund, or at least decaying, force in 1848.2 Even though there is now a much broader consensus in favour of a more gradualist approachg the prevalent 3 emphasis upon discontinuity still attracts a number of adherents. More recently however, significant revisionary work has posed a serious challenge to the existing orthodoxy. A number of important biographical and local studies have presented a compelling argument in favour of investing radicalism with far greater resilience and longevity than had previously been 4 considered possible. As early as 1967, a study of the life of Robert Lowery the noted detectable 'compatibility of Chartist aims and mid-Victorian Liberal 1 6, ideology' Subsequently, Kate Tiller's late Halifax Chartism .5 survey of and 7, Bill Lancaster's meticulous analysis of Leicester Radicalism pursued a similar theme and concluded that in areas where Chartism had been vigorous a radical strain of Liberalism was much more likely to emerge. Both works highlight the valuable insights that local studies can, and do, offer. If, as Kate Tiller has observed, the 1850's and 1860's were Icharacterised by 8, increasingly localised responses to differing conditions' any serious attempt to advance our understanding of popular Liberalism and radicalism must 4- begin with a closer scrutiny of individual localities. A new collection of studies, Currents of Radicalism (1991), which draws on a substantial body of local material, has added scholarly weight to the view that popular radicalism had a significant impact upon the Gladstonian 9 Liberal Party and nascent socialism. E. Biagini and A. Reid not only eschew 10 the but materialist interpretation epitomised by the work of Eric Hobsbawm , also distance themselves from the essentially 'irrational'

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

  • Republicanism in Nineteenth Century England
    NORBERT J. GOSSMAN REPUBLICANISM IN NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND To one familiar with the attitude of "near devotion" accorded the monarchy by the majority of Englishmen today, it may come as a shock to discover a lack of this devotion in mid-Victorian England. A sampling of comments from the radical press is a striking example. Trie-regular arrival of Victoria's progeny evoked this impious sug­ gestion in the Northern Star: That, rather than reciting national prayers of thanksgiving, congregations should sing "hymns of despair for their misfortune in being saddled with another addition to the brood of royal Cormorants." 1 The National Reformer referred to "our good kind, and dear Queen, who... could easily dispense with the allowance which her loyal subjects make her... unless she desires to be the last of England's monarchs..." 2 Yet criticism of Victoria was mild in comparison with the criticism directed toward her immediate predecessors. Upon the death of George IV in June 1830, the Times had the following comment: "The truth is... that there never was an individual less regretted by his fellow- creatures than this deceased King... If George IV ever had a friend, a devoted friend - in any rank of life - we protest that the name of him or her has not yet reached us." 3 This attitude toward the monarchy can be explained partly by the personalities of some of the Hanoverians - George IV, for example, 4 partly by objections to the growing expense of monarchy, but it might also be explained by the feeling in some radical circles that the institution of monarchy was incompatible with the growth of demo­ cracy.

  • Towards a New Form of Economic Development
    Towards a New Form of Economic Development: Why the Need for an Ownership Revolution Has Never Been Greater Jerome Birolini Schumacher College MA Economics for Transition SCH504 Schumacher College Dissertation August 2014 1 ABSTRACT The following paper is rooted in what is now globally recognized as one of the main threats for the future of our civilization, namely social and economic inequality. After initially looking at the causes and consequences of inequality, we will focus our attention to the economic thinking which came out of highly unequal times. The mutualist and cooperative principles which were at the heart of their practices remain a great source of inspiration for today's activists and have been informing some of the most promising social experiments which are currently taking place around the Globe. In the second part of the paper, we will look into more details at the community land trust, the social enterprise and the co-operative, three different types of community wealth-building strategies. By vesting ownership in community stakeholders and therefore preventing capital to leak out from the locality, these types of approaches have proved that can help improve the ability of communities and their residents to own assets, anchor jobs, expand public services, and ensure local economic stability while contributing to environmental sustainability and social justice. Yet a key lesson learned from the case study analysis is that a core element of their success is the support of local civic leaders and the establishment of multi-stakeholder partnerships. As economic decline, government austerity, privatization and wealth inequality continue to squeeze ordinary citizens and lead to the rapid expansion of a new precariat, we will argue that this type of collaborative, locally-rooted and community-owned approaches should now be embraced by the public sector if we are to advance the building blocks for a fairer, more sustainable and more resilient society.

  • LIVES of the ENGINEERS. the LOCOMOTIVE
    LIVES of the ENGINEERS. THE LOCOMOTIVE. GEORGE AND ROBERT STEPHENSON. BY SAMUEL SMILES, INTRODUCTION. Since the appearance of this book in its original form, some seventeen years since, the construction of Railways has continued to make extraordinary progress. Although Great Britain, first in the field, had then, after about twenty-five years‘ work, expended nearly 300 millions sterling in the construction of 8300 miles of railway, it has, during the last seventeen years, expended about 288 millions more in constructing 7780 additional miles. But the construction of railways has proceeded with equal rapidity on the Continent. France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, have largely added to their railway mileage. Austria is actively engaged in carrying new lines across the plains of Hungary, which Turkey is preparing to meet by lines carried up the valley of the Lower Danube. Russia is also occupied with extensive schemes for connecting Petersburg and Moscow with her ports in the Black Sea on the one hand, and with the frontier towns of her Asiatic empire on the other. Italy is employing her new-born liberty in vigorously extending railways throughout her dominions. A direct line of communication has already been opened between France and Italy, through the Mont Cenis Tunnel; while p. ivanother has been opened between Germany and Italy through the Brenner Pass,—so that the entire journey may now be made by two different railway routes excepting only the short sea-passage across the English Channel from London to Brindisi, situated in the south-eastern extremity of the Italian peninsula. During the last sixteen years, nearly the whole of the Indian railways have been made.
