London Story 1848

<p>Although these events [the Chartist riots] have been written about many times before Catherine Howe sets this story in its wider context she brings a fresh eye to the material weighing things up at a distance from the debates that have preoccupied professional historians.  Howe is a story teller and what this book offers is a straightforward detailed and open-minded account of what happened in 1848.</p><p>Stephen Roberts</p><p>Research School of Humanities and the Arts - Australian National University</p>
