This is a pictorial record of the Chartist Movement. Photography was in its infancy in those years and the only photographic record of a Chartist gathering is of the last of the great meetings in April 1848. Pictures of the Chartists themselves as they appeared in those years are all from wood or metal engravings mostly published by Chartist newspapers. An introduction provides a background to the pictures and their captions.

People's Charter

People's Charter

The Merlin Press Ltd
2003

Hostile MPs, police spies, mass arrests, picked juries, jails that made prisoners ill and killed them - these were just some of the difficulties faced by working people who campaigned for the vote and some measure of equality before the law in the early Victorian period. Much of the best scholarship on the Chartists has been published in scholarly journals and has therefore been unavailable to the general reader. This volume presents a selection of key essays: Eileen Yeo on Christianity and Chartism; Christopher Godfrey on Chartist prisoners; Paul Pickering on selling Chartist goods and merchandise; Robert Hall on remembering Chartism; Malcolm Chase on Chartism in Middlesborough and Stockton; Stephen Roberts on Chartism in Leicestershire; Philip Howell on Chartist lecturers

Sir Benjamin Stone 1838-1914: Photographer, Traveller and Politician

Sir Benjamin Stone 1838-1914: Photographer, Traveller and Politician

Stephen Roberts

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
nidottu
Sir Benjamin Stone lived a full life, and was certainly a more contented man than his restless Birmingham contemporary Joseph Chamberlain. Elected to Parliament in 1895, Stone would have been an undistinguished backbencher had it not been for his camera. On the terrace of the House of Commons he lined up his fellow-MPs and various interesting visitors to have their pictures taken. Dubbed 'Sir Snapshot' by the press, he became in these years the most well-known amateur photographer in the country. Stone was an intrepid traveller too, embarking - equipped, of course, with his camera - on a voyage around the world in 1891 and a journey of almost one thousand miles up the Amazon in 1893. He was also an insatiable collector, particularly of botanical and geological specimens and a shrewd businessman, with investments in glass and paper manufacture and house-building and quarrying. Stone was also a Tory politician. He doggedly promoted the Tory cause in Liberal-dominated Birmingham in the 1870s and early 1880s, and, after the Liberal rupture over Irish Home Rule in 1886, became an equally-determined supporter of the new Unionist alliance.Drawing on newspapers and his own extensive personal papers, this is the first biography of Sir Benjamin Stone to be written. It is published to mark the centenary of his death.The volume includes twenty rarely-seen or previously unpublished photographs by Sir Benjamin Stone

Staring at the Wild Moonlight: Poetry

Staring at the Wild Moonlight: Poetry

Stephen Roberts

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
"My soul is a window slightly ajar and I spy a wandering star I can finally breathe my wish upon." "As a poet and a writer I often feel like I am scribbling on a sidewalk full of tiny cracks. From these small fissures, thoughts and concepts and possibilities fizzle up through my concrete-dull mind - a small word, a metaphor, a fragment of a phrase - and sometimes I am awake enough to notice them and write them down." This new collection of poetry attempts to capture that sudden glance from darkness into a brighter light which brings an all-together different way of looking at reality. There will forever remain an invitation for all of us to break free from our limitations so often bound by our narcissistic triteness and experience the wonder of life in all its possibilities.

Illumina: Poetry, Reflections, and Other World Sculptures

Stephen Roberts

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
"The mystics get it-everyone one else fights about it." Illumina is a provocative collection of thoughts, poetry, and reflections-an energising tumble of ideas retelling old wonders in a modern poetic cant. Illumina forges the often-broken words of poetry with the speech of wonder, much like an audacious moon, pausing for a moment in the stillness, waits for you to see for the first time. If we remain still long enough, we may glimpse the beauty of a rare light and discover how deep that light actually goes within the human soul. Like his previous books, here again Steve presents a patchwork of words that delight to bathe you in their sacred white waters. Your thoughts are primed and poised, ready to discover the world of Illumina.

Joseph Gillott: And Four Other Birmingham Manufacturers 1784-1892

Stephen Roberts

2016

This book is made up of five biographical studies ranging across the trades of nineteenth century Birmingham. As well as the lead chapter about the pen maker Joseph Gillott, there are essays on the brass founder Robert Walter Winfield, the glass manufacturer Rice Harris, the button and electroplate manufacturer James Deykin and the rule manufacturer John Rabone. The antiquarian J.A. Langford - himself once a chair maker - was much impressed by a description of what was manufactured in Birmingham in one week in the 1870s: 'A week's work in Birmingham, in its aggregate results, is something wonderful. It comprises the fabrication of 14,000,000 of pens, 6,000 bedsteads, 7,000 guns, 300,000 of cut nails, 100,000,000 of buttons, 1,000 saddles, 5,000,000 of copper and bronze coins, 20,000 pairs of spectacles, 6 tons of papier mache ware, 30,000 worth of jewellery, 4,000 miles of iron and steel wire, 10 tons of pins, 5 tons of hair pins, hooks, eyes and eyelets, 130,000 gross of wood screws, 500 tons of nuts, screw bolts, spikes and rivets, 50 tons of wrought iron hinges, 350 miles length of wax for vestas, 40 tons of refined metal, 40 tons of German silver, 1,000 dozen of fenders, 3,500 bellows, 1,000 roasting jacks, 150 sewing machines, 800 tons of brass and copper wares, besides the almost endless multitude of miscellaneous articles of which no statistics can be given, but which, like those enumerated, find employment for hundreds and thousands of busy hands, and are destined to supply the manifold wants of humanity from China to Peru.'

Flight

Flight

Stephen Roberts

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017

"Half poet, half mad, half terrified, half ecstatic. Exhausted at the beauty of words, fascinated that I still haven't a clue what's going on..." Flight means movement upon the wind, and lately Lady Wind has been up to something grand. I think she is crying with delight at what is unfolding around us. We think it is hazy with smoke, but it is merely the inner eye getting used to a new sight beyond a plastic and neon spirituality. Oxygen can get in through your open window, and when it does you will take off your shoes, put down your basket of plucked blackberries, and sit before the majestic fires of the universe. If you would rather buy a book of poetry by Elizabeth Barrett Browning at this point, I understand. Honesty and humility are never easy for self-absorbed poets who sneak about on a thin slab of emotional ice-they think they are adept at compassion, wicked in wit, and living on the edge of a more sane world. They could also be tragically wrong, so pay no attention whatsoever to them. In Flight, Steve presents another collection of word sculptures, poetics, and reflective nudges towards awakening, trying to be as honest and as real as a shifting beam of sunlight.
