- Illuminates the interplay between local and national affairs
- Explores loyalism and radicalism in the era of the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars
- Reveals how conflicting ideologies developed in dialogue with one another
Loyalism and Radicalism in Lancashire, 1798-1815 is a lively and detailed account of popular politics in Lancashire during the later years of the French Revolution and during the Napoleonic wars. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, such as letters, diaries, and broadside ballads, it offers fresh insights into the complicated dynamics between radicalism, loyalism, and patriotism, and emphasises Lancashire's distinctive political culture and its place at the heart of the industrial revolution.
This region witnessed some of the most intense, disruptive, and violent popular politics in this period and beyond. Highly active
and vocal groups emerged - extreme republicans, more moderate radicals, Luddites, early trade unionists, and also strong networks of 'Church-and-King' loyalists and Orange lodges.
Katrina Navickas explains how this heady mix created a politically charged region where both local and national affairs played their part. She follows the inner workings of popular political activity in response to both internal and external threats, including loyalist processions and civic events, volunteer corps formed as defence against invasion, food riots, strikes by trade unions, and both secret and public meetings on the key issues of peace and parliamentary reform. Navickas argues for a distinct sense of regional identity that shaped not only local politics but also patriotism.
Lancastrians felt British in the face of the French, but it was a particularly Lancastrian type of Britishness.Readership: Students and scholars of modern British history and popular politics; those interested in the impact of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars

"The pages of this study are filled with historical detail gleaned from a wide variety of sources... [A] well-structured volume." - Marion Löffler, Welsh History Review. "An original and important study, the significance of which far exceeds its modest title... Should be read by anyone with a serious interest in any of the many themes it illuminates; the history of early industrial Lancashire is starting to look ver different, very exciting." - Robert Poole, The English Historical Review.
