Contested Sites: Commemoration, Memorial and Popular Politics in Nineteenth-Century Britain

By Paul A. Pickering and Alex Tyrrell

Book Overview

Examining monuments, including statues, plaques and tombstones, commemorating a variety of popular movements and reforming individuals, Contested Sites reveals the relations that went into the making of public memory in modern Britain and its radical tradition. Despite recent advances in the understanding of the importance of symbols in public discourse, these political monuments have received scant attention from historians of British radical reform.
