The Chartist Insurrection and the Newport Rising

About this book

This historical narrative presents a history of the Chartist Insurrection of 1839, from the launching of People's Charter Campaign for universal male suffrage in late-1838 to the Newport Rising in November 1839 and the ensuing campaign to save John Frost and co-leaders of the Rising from execution.
The story is told through reference to primary as well a secondary sources: the Chartist and radical press of the time, intelligence reports, and military/government correspondence. This book doesn't just address the neglect of this important episode in Labour movement history;-more importantly it challenges us to think again about the revolutionary potential of the British Labour movement.
