The Very Salt Of Life: Welsh Women's Political Writings from Chartism to Suffrage. Honno Classics. Edited by Jane Aaron and Ursula Masson. An excellent must have on your shelf book. Although for my purpose in this post, just want to draw attention to Part One: Chartism, Nationalism and Socialism, three essays for you to consider, they being 1: Members of the Blackwood Female Patriotic Association, anonymous Chartist address to Henry Vincent. 2: Jane Williams, Ysgafell. Remarks on the Blue Books 1848. 3: Agusta Hall, Lady Llanover. An address to the Women of Wales. Also see the Introduction to this Part One by Jane Aaron. Just a brief comment regards writting 1: references within show clearly the identification of the writter with British Chartism and links to Bristol and Bath more than with Towns in other parts of Wales. In this same connection it should not be lost on us, that in 1831 there was also a major Insurrection in Bristol > Bristol Riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Bristol Riots of 1831 took place after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill, which aimed to get rid of some of the rotten boroughs and ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Riots - 29k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this These riots having as much impact on ''Monmouthshire'' as the Merthyr Insurrection of that year, indeed English migration into ''Monmouthshire'' at this time pulled it closer towards the ideas about trade unions and Chartism, ideas generally coming out of England into Wales. I suspect that Penderyn and Hirwaun were witness to more ideas coming out of Ireland, certainly as well as the Ceffyl Pren rural justice experience of West Wales migrants into Southern Industrial Wales in the 1820's on into the 1830's and beyond.
