Publisher's Synopsis
""The Chartist Movement"" is a historical book written by Mark Hovell in 1918. The book covers the political movement known as Chartism, which emerged in Britain during the mid-19th century. The movement aimed to achieve political and social reforms for the working class, including universal suffrage, the secret ballot, and the abolition of property qualifications for members of parliament. Hovell's book provides a detailed account of the origins, growth, and decline of Chartism, as well as the key figures and events associated with the movement. The author explores the economic and social conditions that gave rise to Chartism, as well as the political and ideological debates that shaped its development. The book also examines the various tactics employed by Chartists, including mass demonstrations, petitions, and strikes, and the government's response to these actions. Hovell provides a nuanced analysis of the successes and failures of the movement, as well as its lasting impact on British politics and society. Overall, ""The Chartist Movement"" is a comprehensive and insightful study of an important chapter in British history, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of political and social movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
