The massacre at St. Peter’s Field in Manchester on 16th August 1819, when a peaceful meeting for democratic reform was suppressed by force, was a significant event in the history of British popular radicalism. It precipitated the decline of the ‘mass platform’ movement which had grown after the end of the Napoleonic Wars and galvanized the last acts of an ultra-radical revolutionary fringe. ‘Peterloo’, as it became known, also had repercussions in a wider European, colonial and international framework, crystalising, as it did, questions of freedom, domination and representation. This volume brings together a collection of new and diverse approaches to this period, and broadly seeks to understand some of the wider implications of Peterloo and its aftermath, as well as question anew its domestic significance over the course of 1819 and 1820.
