The Chartists Were Right includes less than a literal tithe of this output, prefaced by a perceptive and authoritative introduction by the editor. The intention has been to include all the Chartist plums, David Goodway explains. Yet welcome though this addition to Chartist studies is (both generally and to the series in which it appears), it merits the attention of readers far beyond those whose primary interest is Chartism . . . . There is much in this book to challenge even infuriate the modern reader, no less than its author s contemporaries were challenged and infuriated. This is a book for our times as well as a book about Chartism and after. Socialist History Brings to life one of Britain s most interesting lost radicals. The Guardian

Author Information

David Goodway taught sociology, history and Victorian studies to mainly adult students at the University of Leeds from 1969 to 2005. For the last twenty years he has written principally on anarchism and libertarian socialism and his books include Anarchist Seeds beneath the Snow: Left-Libertarian Thought and British Writers from William Morris to Colin Ward (2006 and 2012). His first book, however, was London Chartism 1838-1848 (1982).
