Peterloo at 200: Histories, Narratives, Representations

Special issue of "The Keats-Shelley Review" on the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre (1819). Adopting a variety of perspectives, all contributions investigate Peterloo as a cause in and of itself, and the texts it spawned as the effects that ‘exceed’ it – prose, poetic, and visual texts which started from it but are irreducible to it, remediations of a brutal historical fact that recast it as real and imaginary, factual and fictional at once.
