Paper Summary:
This paper examines the effect of Chartism on Britain's class system and looks at the changing political aspirations of the laboring poor. It explores the ramifications of the 1832 Reform Act, the Industrial Revolution, the Poor Laws of 1601, classical liberalism and Malthusian influences. It traces the birth of Chartism and its subsequent demise.From the Paper:
"Prior to Chartism, the concept of a "working class" had not existed. British society could be split into two; the elite and the non-landed classes. The latter group included not only the poor but also the middle classes in the form of professionals such as lawyers, clergy and the military. The Industrial Revolution then swelled the ranks of the middle class with the management level staff of the new northern industries."More papers on Chartism and its Effect on the Class System:
