ABSTRACT This article locates memories of northern industrial protest in a transnational context. It focuses on key events and personalities that were formative for the development of the radical platform in the heartland of the industrial north, notably Peterloo, Chartism and the agitation surrounding Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers. Analysing the importance of these memories in sustaining a northern radical identity, it scrutinises the transmission of images of martyrdom and dissent to new world situations, particularly to the Australian colonies and to New Zealand. Examining the rhetoric of the radical platform, this article argues for the centrality of memories of radical dissent for the emergence of new labour parties in the broader White empire. It also analyses the significance of memories of dispossession for the platforms of radical politicians who sought to shake off the legacy of the “old world”. Further, this article explores the concept of a northern radical diaspora, and re-examines the factors that allowed memories of the popular politics of the nineteenth-century in the industrial north to gain a renewed significance in “new world” situations.

writes of a widowed, and then remarried Catherine Maria Bury of Charleville Castle, Co. Offaly, and her influence in the design, Gothic and picturesque in manner, of a country house in the first years of the nineteenth century. A further perspective is Edmund Joyce’s “Lady Harriet Kavanagh of Borris House, 1800–185, matriarch and guardian of the future”, who combined the rearing of many children and stepchildren, the running of an estate upon being made a widow, and travelling and collecting in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Further contributions are those of Ruth Larsen, on Georgiana and Harriet Cavendish, and the advice and support that they provided as sisters, mothers and aunts, and at essential moments of passage in family life cycles. Anna Pilz considers the art and practice of silvaculture at Coole Park, Co. Galway, through “‘Lasting monuments’: Lady Gregory’s domesticated landscape and forestry”. Lowri Ann Rees discusses how an unmarried woman owner and her sister faired in politically charged times in “‘I serve my God, and fear not man’: the Rebecca Riots and a female’s response to Welsh rural protest, 1843–4”. Ciaran Reilly examines the country house and the Great Famine, and the dissenting and provocative novel by Mildred Darby, of Leap Castle, The Hunger. Christopher Ridgway, meanwhile, investigates “Rosalind Howard, the contradictory countess of Carlisle”, whose stance was for suffragism, liberalism, temperance and home rule, and established a controversial and high-profile reputation. Regina Sexton turns to the accumulation and transmission of knowledge in the domestic arts in “Elite women and their recipe books: the case of Dorothy Parsons and her Booke of Choyce Receipts, all written with her owne hand in 1666”. Brendan Twomey writes on epistolary reflections on life for women in “‘I will do myself the pleasure of now writing to you’; Louisa Conollly’s letters to her sister, Sarah Bunbury”. Fiona White concludes the volume with “Louisa Moore of Moore Hall: a life in letters”, on a woman left to run and estate and raise a family, and then to advise and influence the subsequent generation.

The extensive wetlands of the region widely known as Fenland, in eastern England, have seen considerable archaeological and historical research, although we know relatively little about the period between AD410 and 1066 due to the scarcity of source material. In The Anglo-Saxon Fenland Susan Oosthuizen set out to address this issue by looking at a range of evidence both from this period, and through back-projecting sources from the later medieval/post-medieval periods. Chapter 1 – “The Wide Wilderness” – introduces the Fenland landscape, while Chapter 2 – “One of the loneliest pieces of country” – explores what we know about Fenland from Domesday. Through a re-analysis of the Domesday data, Oosthuizen shows that in contrast to the traditional view – that Fenland was largely a wetland wilderness – there were some areas that were quite densely settled. More problematic is the hypothesis that there was continuity from the Roman through to the medieval period, and the statement that there is little evidence of post-Roman abandonment of the wetland fens (p. 26) is simply not true. Large numbers of archaeological surveys have revealed huge areas of Romano-British landscape that were abandoned, which contrasts with a handful of settlements that have been dated to the fifth and sixth centuries (as opposed to the seventh century onwards when the wetlands were recolonised). Chapter 3 “Cultural Identity in the Early Medieval Fenland” – is an important chapter in presenting a hypothesis that the occupants of Fenland in this period were largely descended from the native British population as opposed to immigrant Anglo-Saxons. A crucial line of enquiry – the evidence from DNA – is actually to be found in the Prologue, where Oosthuizen presents an excellent critique of why we should be cautious about using the results of DNA studies of modern populations. What is confusing about this chapter, however, is the terminology: “early medieval” and “Anglo-Saxon” are used seemingly interchangeable, which in a chapter on “identity” is unfortunate! Chapter 4 – “Brigands and Bandits?” – explores which communities described in the Tribal Hidage may have occupied parts of Fenland, while Chapter 5 discusses the Isle of Ely and the central peat lands and presents a convincing reconstruction of the Ely regio. The final chapter – “Rich hay and commons” – weaves together scraps of evidence from the early medieval period with a wealth of material from the later medieval/post medieval periods, to show the importance of common grazing to rural communities. The book is well written and well-illustrated as is customary with the excellent Windgather series.

ABSTRACT This article explores the development of a public history walk based on the life of Edward Carpenter (1844–1929), late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Sheffield-based writer, campaigner and sex reformer. It argues that understanding the world in which Carpenter and his comrades, friends and lovers lived, dreamed and loved, requires attention to both the alterity of sexual experiences in the past and historical continuity in terms of sexual identities and practices that are marginalised within different mainstream cultures. Public History brings a new perspective to this debate, drawing attention to the resonance of history in terms of present day identities. The article also addresses the heteronormativity of public history, the role of history in place-making and the ways in which public history, creative history and the practice of walking can challenge dominant versions of urban history and urge us to think critically about different ways of knowing the past.

ABSTRACT In the present universities are facing the introduction of a revised Research Excellence Framework, the extension of the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework to subject-level assessment, and the emergence of a Knowledge Exchange Framework. Against this background are particular interests in, or imperatives surrounding, the development of research-informed activity involving undergraduate students, and in university public engagement. The practice of local history has a long and proud tradition of internally and externally collaborative and enquiry-led co-production in higher education and more broadly, and is now a fitting reference point and a timely source of inspiration. This research discusses the development of, and relationships between, REF, TEF and KEF, the place of research-informed teaching, and the contemporary significance of local history. The study also reports on some of the results of a student-engagement activity involving the indexing, analysis and interpretation of a provincial newspaper, for Ilfracombe, in Devon. Such a choice of primary source is particularly apt, not least because its demanding material format invites group reading and collective scrutiny. In addition, provincial-press publications yield and test knowledge of what the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries brought to districts and communities; they also demand an appreciation of conceptual and critical understanding; and, in addition, support diverse and advanced methodological experimentation.

ABSTRACT The burgeoning popular market for cheap reading material in the mid-nineteenth century offered major opportunities for the print trades. Based in the Yorkshire North Riding town of Stokesley, John Slater Pratt (1807–67) transformed a country printing shop into a major producer of cheap novels and non-fiction books. He printed over 300 titles, often in several editions, most of them in the years 1841–53. Many appeared under the imprint of his own London office (1841–50), but he also printed for, and often in partnership with, a range of London and provincial publishers. This was achieved in the intensively competitive market that accompanied the industrialisation of book production and retailing, and in spite of Stokesley not being served by the railways. The firm's origins are explored, and its output analysed. Pratt's short but energetic career offers an illuminating case study both of local industrial history and entrepreneurship, and of the interplay between the English regions and the metropolis in book production, distribution and marketing.

ABSTRACT This study combines personal, community, regional and national perspectives to identify patterns of Dissent and discuss their character and causes in relation to varying local environments. It demonstrates how the approaches of earlier historians may be further developed and debated. The study area- the three counties of Oxford diocese, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire- shows many factors at work using linked evidence, including both overall data and detail from original 1851 religious census returns. Significant determinants of the Dissenting experience and its locations were: response to disruptive change; the strength and continuity of earlier cultures of Dissent; the condition and attitudes of Anglicanism; the impact of the Evangelical Revival; the status, material resources and personalities of chapel activists; the surrounding social and physical environment of landscape, settlement, ownership and social structure; and local cultures of dependency or diversity and independency. Many of these determinants can only to be fully assessed by looking beyond a single chapel or denomination or settlement. Dissenting patterns were commonly organic and locally rooted, examples of an environmental religious fit recoverable through local and regional studies.

ABSTRACT E. P. Thompson, in his work, Customs in Common, published in 1991, included a chapter that considered a phenomenon with which he had been interested in much of his earlier research: rough music. Thompson described this as a means by which through the use of raucous “music” and street theatre, mockery or hostility was directed against individuals “who offended against certain community norms.” Thompson's research drew in part upon local newspaper reports in his analysis of rough music. With the digitisation of some 23 million pages of local newspapers, accessible through the British Library's newspaper archive, a much more extensive analysis of the press representation of rough music is now possible. This article revisits Thompson's work and tests his claims about the content and context of rough music in the communal regulation of behaviour contravening local societies’ norms. The article explores inter alia, the changing nature of rough music over time in terms of its focus and incidence, and its regional character. Attention is paid to the way in which rough music itself was reported and how attitudes towards its implementation varied within the press.

The article explores inter alia, the changing nature of rough music over time in terms of its focus and incidence, and its regional character. Attention is paid to the way in which rough music itself was reported and how attitudes towards its implementation varied within the press.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2018.1451448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48998397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
