  • U DX163 Thomasson Family Papers 1803-1981
    Hull History Centre: Thomasson Family Papers U DX163 Thomasson Family Papers 1803-1981 Biographical Background: The Thomassons were a family of cotton-spinners form Bolton who had successfully built up a thriving business during the nineteenth century. John Thomasson, who died in 1837, left one son Thomas (1808-76). He became President of the Bolton Liberal Asosciation, and in the middle years of the century a good friend and benefactor of Richard Cobden. His son John Pennington Thomasson (1840-1904), married John Bright's niece, Katherine Lucas, the daughter of Samuel Lucas, editor of the radical Morning Star (1856-69). J.P. Thomasson became a noted local dignitary and philanthropist, Liberal MP for Bolton from 1880-1885 and freeman of the borough in 1902. His son was Franklin Thomasson, born 16 August 1873. At nineteen he was made a manager in the family firm, and three years later he married Elizabeth Lawton, daughter of an American named Caleb Coffin. He tried several times, unsuccessfully, to enter parliament for different constituencies but was eventually successful in winning the seat for Leicester for the Liberal Party in a by-election in 1906. By this time the Tribune was well under way. The Liberal daily newspaper ran from 15 January 1906 until 7 February 1908. His parliamentary career was uneventful, cut short by the collapse of the Tribune, and he continued to sit in the House of Commons until he retired in 1910. Franklin Thomasson commanded the 25th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment during the First World War and died on 29 October 1941.

Campaigning is often regarded as characteristic of the New Journalism of the fin de siècle, particularly in the form associated with W. T. Stead at the Pall Mall Gazette in the 1880s.

  • The Radical Experiment in Liverpool and Its Influence on the Reform Movement in the Early Victorian Period
    THE RADICAL EXPERIMENT IN LIVERPOOL AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN THE EARLY VICTORIAN PERIOD Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Anthony Nicholas Foggo School of Histories, Languages and Cultures April 2015 ii Declaration I hereby declare that the work within this thesis was entirely composed by myself and does not include material previously published. Anthony Nicholas Foggo iii iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis has been a long voyage for all concerned. In the best tradition of Cavafy there has always been a destination in mind but arrival there has not been something to be hurried: much better for the journey to last years, so that when you finally reach port you are old but have grown rich with all that has been learned along the way. Consequently, I owe a vast debt to my supervisors who, whilst not discouraging me from pursuing avenues that will at some point in the future deliver additional fruits, have gently steered me in the proclaimed direction and stuck with it for many years. To John Belchem, who accompanied me almost to journey’s end, I am grateful for widening my historiographical aspirations and instilling in me a regard for “proper history”. To Graeme Milne, who has sailed with me for the entire journey, I can only express my amazement at his stamina and gratitude for his having ensured that the final stages were completed with due rigour. To Will Ashworth, who has welcomed me at his seminars and latterly, as a supervisor, has provided a timely reminder that research should always be an enjoyable process, I am also most grateful.

I owe him a great debt for helping me to turn my hazy ideas into a coherent piece of work, and reminding me how to study History again, after years spent in education. My thanks are also due to the staff of the School of History and of the University Library for their help and guidance. I have visited the following archive centres: West Yorkshire Archive Services at Halifax and Wakefield, Local Studies Centres at Oldham and Rochdale and The National Archive at Kew. Wherever I have gone, I have been helped with kindness, humour and outstanding professionalism for which I am extremely grateful. I am delighted that my friend and colleague Alastair Linden was able to help with ideas and proof reading.
