A thematic analysis of the career of Bronterre O'Brien, one of the most influential leaders of Chartism, that relates his activities--and the Chartist movement--to broader themes in the history of Britain, Europe, and America during the nineteenth century. Examining the personal, tactical, and ideological contexts for O'Brien's radicalism, and his development of a social and economic agenda to accompany "constitutional" Chartism, this book also evaluates O'Brien's reputation among his contemporaries and among modern historians, in order better to understand his contribution to radicalism in Britain and beyond.
