Introduction: ‘The Radical Ladder’

Gardner, John

Pages: 1 –10

[The image on the front of this book, The Radical Ladder’, cut by George Cruikshank, depicts the most revolutionary set of events seen in Britain since the 1640s. Printed in 1820 at the expense of ‘The Loyal Association’ — an organisation formed to combat radical literature and counteract ‘the...

Peterloo

Gardner, John

Pages: 13 –20

[On the afternoon of 16 August 1819, Samuel Bamford, the Manchester radical leader, weaver, and self-educated poet (who had just published a collection of his poems under the title of The Weaver Boy) was desperately searching the area around St Peter’s Fields in Manchester for news of his wife...

Myth-making: Samuel Bamford and Peterloo

Gardner, John

Pages: 21 –32

[The ‘Peterloo massacre’ is mainly known to students of poetry through the work of Percy Shelley, in poems such as The Mask of Anarchy and ‘England in 1819’, Byron, in Don Juan, and William Hone, in The Political House that Jack Built and The Man in the Moon. However none of these writers were...

William Hone’s Peterloo

Gardner, John

Pages: 33 –71

[Editor, journalist, publisher, pamphleteer, reformer, writer of doggerel and coffee-house keeper, William Hone was hugely famous between 1815 until 1830. The range of his literary and political interactions, the collaborations with George Cruikshank, the blend of high and low characteristics in...

Shelley: Doggerel and Dialectics

Gardner, John

Pages: 72 –101

[Michael Scrivener writes of Shelley’s The Mask of Anarchy: Tor one thing, it has to be recognised as contradictory, at war with itself, not entirely resolved. The different elements making up the poem do not necessarily meld into a unity.’1 Scrivener might as well be writing about Shelley the...

The Cato Street Tragedy

Gardner, John

Pages: 105 –119

[The obvious contrivance of the Cato Street Conspiracy has meant that, from the start, it was a dramatic event. Ultimately penned by members of the government, this tragedy involved a few half-starved men who were unwitting actors in a snuff drama. It ended with the death of a policeman, the...

Charles Lamb and the Spy System

Gardner, John

Pages: 120 –129

[In A History of English Literature, Michael Alexander writes that Charles Lamb ‘was indifferent to ideas, to politics’.1 It is a long-standing view of someone who is often called ‘gentle Lamb’.2 Hazlitt says much the same thing in his essay ‘Elia — Geoffrey Crayon’: ‘Mr. Lamb has succeeded, not...
Available

Byron, Cato Street and Marino Faliero

Gardner, John

Pages: 130 –155

[Marino Faliero impressed neither its first audience nor its first readers. William Hazlitt’s response is representative: Lord Byron … sympathizes readily with Dante, who was a poet, a patriot, a noble Florentine, and exile from his country: he can describe the feelings of Dante, for in so doing,...
Available

Introducing the Players

Gardner, John

Pages: 159 –182

[Looking back on the Queen Caroline affair, Hazlitt writes: It was the only question I ever knew that excited a thorough popular feeling. It struck its roots into the heart of the nation; it took possession of every house or cottage in the kingdom; man, woman, and child took part in it, as if it...
Available

Byron and the Loyalists

Gardner, John

Pages: 183 –194

[Byron has no interest in ‘blackguards’ or women taking an active part in politics. As Malcolm Kelsall points out, he retained a firm idea of who should be in power:Byron’s empathy is with aristocratic revolutionaries (and men who failed) and not with the radicals … Hence the importance of the...
