Suggested Further Reading Suggested Further Reading What follows is an attempt at a working bibliography for students, confined to the years covered by the documents. A fuller bibliography of the whole movement can be found in G. D. H. Cole, 'Chartist Portraits', the 1965 edition of which has a bibliographical foreword by Asa Briggs which brings it up to that date. F. C. Mather's admirable Historical Association pamphlet 'Chartism', also published in 1965, contains a com­ prehensive review of writing about Chartism, and a fuller bibliography of recent material can be gathered from a file of the 'Bulletin of the Society for the Study of Labour History', which lists all relevant publications, including many articles which have appeared outside the usual historical journals. The 'Bulletin' also contains occasional review articles on Chartism, as well as listing unpublished theses and work in progress. It should certainly be consulted by any one intending to begin serious work on Chartism. The most recent bibliographical article is by W. H. Maehl, in the 'Journal of Modern History' of September 1969, which covers publications up to that date. Some further bibliographical references will be found in the notes to the Introduction. Since the study of Chartism takes in so many aspects of the social history of the middle years of the nineteenth century, most general histories, biographies, memoirs, etc. which cover those years make some reference to it or throw some light on its background. In the same way almost every newspaper and periodical published in the relevant years contains some reference to it. It would be impossible, and not very useful, to list all such sources. I have therefore only listed here books and journals which throw considerable light on the subject, or which contain important information which cannot be obtained elsewhere .. The publications of the Chartists themselves, locally and nationally, were considerable in number and variety in the early years. A check list of all Chartist publications is in preparation, but since my own list is very far from complete, and inevitably contains many items which are extremely rare, I have not tried to make even a partial list of pamphlets and broadsides, but 294 have listed only the journals of the period, many of which can be seen at the British Museum newspaper library at Colindale, and some of which are now available on microfilm and can be seen at provincial or university libraries. MANUSCRIPT SOURCES Home Office Papers (Public Record Office) Series 40/ Mainly correspondence relating to disturbances. The series is divided into bundles by counties, dates and subjects. Series 41/ Entry books corresponding to series 40.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • The Chartist Prisoners, 1839–41
    CHRISTOPHER GODFREY THE CHARTIST PRISONERS, 1839-41* i Historians of Chartism face a dilemma. On the one hand, they are obliged to interpret this national political movement on the national level, to attempt to explain why millions of British working men and women were engaged in organized political activity over several decades. But, on the other hand, many of the richest sources on Chartism are found on the local level. Older histories of the movement treated Chartism from a national perspective, but failed to take note of many of its complexities. More recently, a good deal of local research has rigorously tested our assumptions about Chartism, but the task of carefully analyzing the movement on the national level still remains.1 An experience which Chartists from many localities shared was arrest, trial and imprisonment. The manifold sources on Chartist prisoners provide a valuable tool for analyzing the movement as a whole, yet they have hardly been utilized. This paper treats the subjects of Chartist prisoners during the early years of the movement, 1839-41, when thousands were arrested, and nearly 500 people served prison terms for offenses committed in the pursuit of political aims. During this period, the Chartist prisoners became a cause celebre, as important to the movement as the Charter itself. The sources on Chartist prisoners fall into two categories. First, there are the writings of the prisoners themselves, or their Chartist supporters * The author wishes to acknowledge the advice and encouragement of Mrs Dorothy Thompson of the University of Birmingham, and Professor John L. Clive and Assistant Professor John Bohstedt of Harvard University.
