Reviews
"This is a work of great empathy, enthusiasm, passion, commitment and scholarship that will be of interest to historians of Chartism and Victorian radicalism. It is leavened by two appendices, one giving a sample of Cooper's letters, the other considering his relationship with Charles Dickens, and it is difficult to imagine a more comprehensive treatment." (Chris Williams, Midland History)
"The book is well written and informative, and based on solid research. Roberts demonstrates a command of local sources as well as the wider context, although it is a pity that the book is not longer, so that more discussion of the nature of Chartism and other reform movements could have been provided. [...] it is an enjoyable and worthwhile read." (Michael J. Turner, Labour History Review)
"A wonderful book." (Tony Benn, former Labour MP and Cabinet Minister)
