Roberts, a renowned Chartist leader, fearlessly advocated for workers' rights, utilizing the judicial system to challenge mine owners' oppressive practices. His unwavering support for miners earned him the title "the miners' attorney." His fame spread across northern England, inspiring ballads during the 1840s and 1850s. Although he did not identify as a socialist, he served as a solicitor to Marx and Engels. This comprehensive book offers a vivid portrayal of Roberts, shedding light on the lives of working people in Victorian society, the growth of trade unions, Chartism, and the cooperative movement. It delves into the Victorian authorities' extraordinary measures to suppress social unrest, including the use of agents provocateurs, police informers, and manipulative legal tactics. Additionally, it explores the origins of Irish terrorism in the Manchester Martyrs and Clerkenwell Explosion cases and the establishment of a legal framework to address it.
