Chartism, the popular movement for parliamentary reform, dominated British popular politics in the late 1830s and 1840s, just as O’Connell’s Repeal movement – the campaign for the repeal of the Act of Union (1800) – dominated Irish popular politics during the same period. The Leicester Chartists judged O’Connell to be “one of the vilest of traitors and political apostates recorded in the annals of political delinquency.”1 The Halifax Chartists, reaching further depths of invective, compared O’Connell to “Satan amongst the Angels of Heaven,”2 while the Chartists of Hull resolved that “The several portraits of O’Connell, that arch-traitor of the people, shall be publicly burnt at the rooms of the Working Men’s Association.”3

    Romantic Memory? Forgetting, Remembering and Feeling in the Chartist Pantheon of Heroes, c.1790–1840 Matthew Roberts ABSTRACT This paper explores the politics of remembrance through a case study of Chartism, the British mass movement for democratic and social rights in the 1830s and 1840s. It focuses on the ‘paper pantheon’ of radical greats constructed by the Chartists from the perspectives of Romanticism, the powerful cultural and literary effects of which were still being felt in the 1840s. The paper highlights two linked aspects of romantic memory in Chartist heritage politics. First, the question, not of remembering, but forgetting and erasure; that is, which individuals and episodes in the radical tradition were either forgotten or consciously excluded by the Chartists. Second, particular attention is paid to recent scholarship in Romantic Studies which has explored the relationship between memory and posthumous reputation, and in doing so explores the posthumous potential of John Thelwall, Thomas Paine and William Cobbett. While the impact of Romanticism can be hardly denied and was part of the cultural inheritance of the Chartists, including the intense outpouring of feeling for heroes in the pantheon, it is important not to exaggerate its impact. Some Chartists rejected the unchecked appeals to the passions and introspection associated with Romanticism. Chartist aversion to this pull was a legacy in part of the enduring impact of radical Enlightenment and its associated affective politics. The final section explores some of the tensions between Romanticism and Enlightenment in Chartist heritage politics via a case-study of the French revolutionary C.F. Volney, and draws on recent work on the history of emotions to sketch out the affective 1 politics of Chartist memory, and in doing so suggests that political historians pay more attention to the politics of the passions.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Shakespearean Chartists In the autumn and winter of 1842–43, the poet and activist Thomas Cooper faced legal prosecution on three separate occasions for matters related to his activities in the Chartist movement. First, in October, Cooper was tried unsuccessfully for committing arson in Hanley, Staffordshire during the massive strike wave of August 1842.1 The following March, in a trial that ‘commenced on [his] birth- day’, Cooper was convicted of seditious conspiracy for speeches made during that same summer and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in Staffordshire Gaol.2 But even as he awaited his second trial, the activist was summoned to Leicester’s town hall to answer a seemingly unrelated accusation: on 30 January 1843, Cooper was charged with performing Shakespeare’s Hamlet ‘on the 9th and 16th inst., for profit and gain, contrary to the statute’ that restricted the staging of tragedy and comedy to theatres with a royal patent.3 These performances grew out of the cultural world of Leicester Chartism. Under Cooper’s leadership, the local movement combined advocacy for the Charter, which sought a set of political reforms to establish democratic rule, with a vibrant counter-culture that included a school, frequent lectures, and ‘sections … for the cultivation of singing, study of the drama, &c.’.4 Members of the latter group performed a series of plays in December and January, culminating with the controversial production of Hamlet. Although the stakes of Cooper’s court appearance on 30 January were unde- niably lower than the other prosecutions, in which if convicted Cooper faced penal transportation or imprisonment, the idea of the impoverished stockingers who made up Leicester Chartism’s rank-and- file staging serious drama pro- voked scandal in the town.5 Such was the cultural trespass that on the day of the trial, the ‘Town-hall … was crowded with persons anxious to hear the informa- tion against Mr.

    The Past Jumps Up: British Radicals and the Remaking of Literary History, 1790-1870 by Casie Renee LeGette A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Adela N. Pinch, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Emeritus Professor Martha J. Vicinus Associate Professor Daniel S. Hack Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel Acknowledgments I would like first to thank Adela Pinch, whose importance to this project is impossible to put into words. Without her, this dissertation would not exist. My thanks also to Danny Hack, who has lent this project his considerable expertise. The particular blend of criticism and support with which he has nurtured this project has proved invaluable. I will sorely miss my conversations with Marjorie Levinson, which have challenged, sustained, and inspired me for the past six years. Through Marjorie’s eyes, I can glimpse what my work could be, at its very best. I would like to thank Martha Vicinus for her meticulous feedback and her remarkable generosity. She is the kind of mentor I hope to be. Kali Israel’s enthusiasm for this project has motivated me to expand its scope and its stakes. All literary scholars should be lucky enough to have such a historian in their corner. And my thanks to Yopie Prins, for years of support and encouragement. This dissertation owes a great deal to the generosity of the archivists at the Labour History Archive of the People’s History Museum, the Bishopsgate Institute, the Working Class Movement Library, and the National Co-operative Archive.
