The Risings of the Luddites: Chartists and Plugdrawers is a historical account of the Luddite movement in England during the early 19th century. Written by Frank Peel and originally published in 1888, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and economic conditions that led to the Luddite uprisings, as well as the political and cultural factors that shaped the movement.Peel begins by tracing the origins of the Luddite movement to the Industrial Revolution, which brought about significant changes in the textile industry and led to the displacement of skilled workers. He then explores the various forms of resistance that emerged, including the destruction of machinery and the formation of secret societies.The book also delves into the political context of the Luddite movement, including the rise of Chartism, a working-class movement that aimed to secure political rights and representation. Peel examines the links between the Luddites and Chartists, and argues that both movements were driven by a desire for social justice and economic equality.Finally, the book looks at the legacy of the Luddite movement, including its impact on the development of the labor movement and the broader struggle for workers' rights. Overall, The Risings of the Luddites is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most significant social movements in British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
