| Summary: | Since E.P. Thompson’s classic The Making of the English Working Class (1963), the historiography of protest movements has considerably expanded. This article takes stock of recent reinterpretations of a period which Thompson saw as the heroic age of working-class radicalism. It discusses debates on the rise of the mass platform and the significance of Peterloo and the new emphasis on culture, gender, and micro-history to revise towering narratives. It also examines the Cato Street conspiracy (1820), and the studies placing it in British, imperial and international context. A section on Scotland rehearses the state of the debate on the 1820 ‘Radical War’ and Scottish specificities. |
