From the publisher

From medieval Runnymede to twentieth-century Jarrow, from King Alfred to George Orwell by way of John Lilburne and Mary Wollstonecraft, a rich and colorful thread of radicalism runs through a thousand years of British history. In this fascinating study, Edward Vallance traces a national tendency towards revolution, irreverence, and reform wherever it surfaces and in all its variety. He unveils the British people who fought and died for religious freedom, universal suffrage, justice, and libertyand shows why now, more than ever, their heroic achievements must be celebrated.Beginning with Magna Carta, Vallance subjects the touchstones of British radicalism to rigorous scrutiny. He evokes the figureheads of radical action, real and mythicRobin Hood and Captain Swing, Wat Tyler, Ned Ludd, Thomas Paine, and Emmeline Pankhurstand the popular movements that bore them. Lollards, Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, and Chartists, each has its membership, principles, and objectives revealed."
