Poetry and Popular Protest: Peterloo, Cato Street and the Queen Caroline Controversy (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print)

This book provides provocative information on poetry written in response to the most revolutionary set of events seen in Britain since the 1640s: "Peterloo," a peaceful protest that became a massacre; "Cato Street," a government scripted rebellion; and the "Queen Caroline Controversy," when the estranged wife of George IV tried to claim her crown.
