Chartist drama, paperback/***

This volume opens a window onto a unique culture of politicised working-class drama by offering four plays that highlight the diversity of Chartist performance: a verse tragedy concerning the Newport rising; a Gothic melodrama; a frequently reenacted treason trial; and a Romantic-era history play.
