Description

To the question 'what is the Chartist Movement?', people answered 'the labour-class movement requiring the realization of the People's Charter' according to an ordinary definition of school textbooks. This movement was not merely the political movement of labour class but essentially the social-economic movement, which is clear by remembering the early nineteenth century in England as a violent period of the industrial revolution. Beyond this ordinary textbook interpretation a certain viewpoint which may be generally accepted is Lenin's; that is, 'the first broad and politically organized proletarian-revolutionary movement of the masses'. But when we step into the actual process of the Chartist Movement, this Lenin's categorical definition does not prove a correct image of Chartism. According to this observation, we have to conclude that 'the historical image of the Chartist Movement' is still unsettled. This article, from this point of view, tries to describe a concrete historical image of the movement, forcussing attention mainly upon Lancashire, the central district in the Industrial Revolution.
