This book provides provocative information on poetry written in response to the most revolutionary set of events seen in Britain since the 1640s: ‘Peterloo’, a peaceful protest that became a massacre; ‘Cato Street’, a government scripted rebellion; and the ‘Queen Caroline Controversy’, when the estranged wife of George IV tried to claim her crown.
