Social Unrest and Popular Protest in England, 1780-1840

Social Unrest and Popular Protest in England, 1780-1840 by John E. Archer
English | Dec. 11, 2000 | ISBN: 0521572169, 0521576563 | 124 Pages | PDF | 740 KB

John E. Archer examines the diversity of protest from 1780 to 1840. This book covers all forms of protest, including the Gordon Riots of 1780, food riots, Luddism, the radical political reform movement and Peterloo in 1819. It also includes the less well researched anti-enclosure, anti-New Poor Law riots, arson and other forms of "terroristic" action, up to the advent of Chartism in the 1830s. Archer's concise study of popular protest provides a unique perspective on the social history and conditions of this crucial period.
