Gwent Archives Chartist Sources GWENT ARCHIVES CHARTIST SOURCES The Gwent Archives ‘Collection’ contains material of relevance to Chartist studies to be found among the official records of the Court of Quarter Sessions, the Monmouthshire Boards of Guardians, Newport Borough Council, Church records as well as numerous privately deposited papers. These documents include material on John Frost’s involvement in Newport municipal politics as town councillor and then mayor, 1836-37; legal papers on various business ventures of Zephaniah Williams in the 1820’s and 1830’s; papers on the imprisonment of Chartists in Monmouth Gaol, 1839-40; trial depositions of the Chartists Samuel Etheridge, Richard Rorke, and Wright Beatty in 1840-41; as well as miscellaneous letters, handbills and newspaper reports relating to the movement. Detailed catalogues for the collections identified are available in the research room and a range of printed material relating to Chartism available in the research room library. The Quarter Sessions Depositions listed have now been digitised alongside the Chartist Trials papers held by Newport Reference Library to form the Cynefin ‘Trails to Trials’ online transcription project, organised in association with the National Library of Wales and Heritage Lottery Fund, to be launched in 2015*.

  • British Chartism and the “Luminous Political Example of America” by MICHAEL J
    1 British Chartism and the “luminous political example of America” By MICHAEL J. TURNER APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY Chartism was the most important popular reform mobilization in nineteenth-century Britain, and Chartists were generally well-disposed towards America. They admired its written constitution and guarantee of personal rights; its republican system and democratic suffrage; its religious toleration and the absence of an established church; its freedom from the weight of tradition, rank, class, and aristocracy; its well-developed local government and sense of active civic participation; its promise of liberty, opportunity, and progress. America seemed to represent what Britain could and should be. It offered Chartists a model and an inspiration. But Chartist attitudes towards America were not straightforward. They were nuanced, certainly self-serving, and in some respects dishonest. In order better to understand why, it is instructive to consider the statements of one of the foremost opinion-formers in Chartism, James Bronterre O’Brien, who made his name in the 1830s as a powerful writer for the unstamped press and was dubbed the Chartist movement’s “schoolmaster,” because he gave it an intellectual basis. Despite his fame, O’Brien remains an elusive figure. There exists only a small amount of scattered, unpublished personal material, which necessitates reliance on his publications, yet he completed few of his major writing projects, and important shorter pieces from the early part of his career were not revised or expanded later. There is only one modern biography of O’Brien, which appeared in 1971, but most of it was written in the 1920s and 1930s.

  • Report on the Administrative History of the Chartist Trials Papers
    A Report on the Administrative History of the ‘Chartist Trials’ Papers Introduction: The documents now referred to as the ‘Chartist Trials’ papers, an archive collection conserved and catalogued by Newport Public Library c. 1960 in a series of twenty-five bound volumes, consist primarily of the records generated during the magistrates’ preliminary hearings conducted at the Westgate Hotel, Newport, the scene of the Chartist Rising. These hearings, held in preparation for the Chartist Trials at Monmouth in January 1840, commenced on Tuesday 5 November and were held almost continuously down to Saturday 30 November (some residual cases were heard at Monmouth on the 4 & 5 December ), before the Grand Jury for the Special Commission assembled at Shire Hall on 10 December 1839. In the course of these hearings the capital charge of high treason was initially made against fifty of the accused. The Attorney-General, Sir John Campbell, and the prosecution team subsequently reduced the number charged with high treason to a total of twenty persons (in part for reasons of practical legal management). Broadly speaking the remaining Chartists indicted for offences during the Rising were prosecuted on the lesser charges of riot and conspiracy, and sedition. The Grand Jury (sitting 10-11 Dec.) found true bills to proceed to the main trial by Petty Jury against fourteen of the twenty persons presented for the charge of high treason . Of the preliminary hearings that commenced on the morning of 5 November John Frost, Charles Waters and John Partridge were the first accused brought before the makeshift courtroom (Frost had been arrested the previous evening in the house of the printer John Partridge, by Thomas Jones Phillips).

    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.
