The period 1792–94 witnessed the emergence of the first genuinely popular radical movement in Britain. This collection contains the key trials of London radicalism from 1792–94. It includes a general introduction, but each of the trials is introduced in its own right and supported by endnotes and further reading.
'Those who have squinted at versions of these trials on Eighteenth-Century Collections Online will be pleased to find the facsimiles here 'digitally cleaned and enhanced'. No less welcome is Barrell and Mee's stellar editorial apparatus' The Huntingdon Library Quarterly 'a welcome new offering ... Barrell and Mee's introduction establishes the ground perfectly for curious but inexpert readers ... but readers will miss a lot if they just read the first volume's introduction, profound as it is. For these "trials" constitute a fleeting sub-genre of their own, a kind of legal-literary performance art ... [they are] essential reading.' The Wordsworth Circle
