Focusing on the radical movement for parliamentary reform in early nineteenth-century Britain, this literary study examines the interplay between popular agitation and oppressive political measures. Kevin Gilmartin analyzes the periodical press's role in shaping radical opposition, highlighting the contributions of key figures like William Cobbett and Leigh Hunt. He reveals how these writers navigated a complex landscape of political resistance, striving for independence while often engaging with the very systems they opposed to advance their goals.
