The Popular Radical Press in Britain, 1811-1821 cover

The radical weekly newspaper or pamphlet was the leading print organ of popular radical expression during what has been called the "heroic age of popular Radicalism"; the public agitation for parlimentary reform between 1815 and 1820. This work reprints the original runs of the rarest periodicals.

'provides an excellent window onto a crucial period in the development of popular politics in Britain.' Enlightenment and Dissent 'The publishers are to be congratulated for taking on such a costly task, while the editor and his team are to be commended and sincerely thanked for its efficient execution. The work is handsomely produced and bound and the problems attendant upon the facsimile production of matter that was cheaply printed on poor, translucent paper have been skilfully overcome.'
