Excellent debate on Chartism5
This book is from the Access to History:in depth series and it certainly goes go 'in depth'. It gives the reader an introduction to the Chartist Movement - what influenced it and then deals with the rest in chronological order. If you are required to write an essay in Chartism this book is the one!!
