Beskrivelse af Commemorating Peterloo
'This timely gathering of excellent scholars refreshes and deepens our understanding of "Peterloo." Reading it as now providing an argument for non-violent popular action and now revealing dispersed state violence, the collection broadens our approach to Peterloo to responses in painting, poetry, and plays and to reactions from Ireland, Scotland, and America.'
Jeffrey N. Cox, University of Colorado Boulder
Reflections on the Bicentenary of the 1819 Massacre of Reformers in Manchester
Two hundred years after the massacre of protestors in Manchester, known as Peterloo, distinguished scholars of Romantic-era literature join together in this commemorative volume to assess the implications of the violence. Contributors explore how attitudes towards violence and the claims of people to participate in government were reflected and revised in the verbal and visual culture of the time. Their analyses provide fresh insights into cultural engagement as a means of resisting oppression and a sign of the resilience of humanity in facing threats and force.
Michael Demson is Associate Professor of English at Sam Houston State University.
Regina Hewitt is Professor of English at the University of South Florida.
