Chartist journalism and print culture in Britain, 1830-1855 / Aled G. Jones --
Building identity, building circulation : engraved portraiture and the Northern star / Malcolm Chase --
The Western vindicator and early Chartism / Owen R. Ashton --
The Chartist Press in Scotland / W. Hamish Fraser --
Feargus O'Connor, Ernest Jones, and The labourer / Glenn Airey --

"Mercenary scribblers" and "polluted quills" : the Chartist Press in Australia and New Zealand / Paul A. Pickering.
Between 1837 and 1859, Chartists published over 120 newspapers and periodicals. Most Chartist newspapers were short-lived, some were more enduring, but all were testimony to the fact that an energetic, propagandist press was of crucial importance to the first great working-class movement in the world." "Papers for the People provides stimulating new perspectives on the Chartist press and offers a rigorous analysis of the role of print and print culture in the Chartist movement from its early beginnings to its more diverse manifestation in the late 1850s. Located within the broader context of developments in nineteenth-century British journalism, the essays afford a comprehensive chronological and geographical appraisal of Chartist press activity. While existing work has concentrated only on England and Scotland this volume also includes studies of the press in Wales, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Some of the chapters are expressly revisionist; others are pioneering and innovative.
