Focusing on the intersection of Chartism and Victorian literature, this work explores the often-overlooked fiction produced by the Chartist movement. It highlights contributions from both prominent authors like Ernest Jones and Thomas Cooper and lesser-known figures, challenging the notion that Chartist fiction lacks aesthetic and political merit. By situating these narratives within the broader context of the Victorian novel, the author sheds light on their significance and impact on literary history.
