Etat : New.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. On a night of relentless rain in June 1817, fifty men gathered in a stone barn in the Derbyshire hills. They took up pikes forged in a preacher's quarry and set out to overthrow the British government. By dawn a young farm servant lay dead, the gates of a great ironworks had closed against them, and twenty dragoons were waiting on the Nottingham road.This gripping work of narrative history reconstructs the Pentrich Rising, the last armed attempt at revolution in England. It runs from the volcanic winter that starved the Midlands to the scaffold at Derby, where three men were hanged and beheaded while the nation mourned a dead princess. At its heart stands William Oliver, a bankrupt surveyor turned government spy, who travelled the manufacturing districts promising a national insurrection that never existed.Drawing on trial testimony, Home Office papers and the voices of the villagers themselves, Conroy Clune brings to life framework knitters and quarrymen, a Methodist preacher and an old soldier, a Home Secretary and a courageous ironworks manager. The result is a story of hunger, hope, betrayal and state repression whose echoes reach from Peterloo to the ballot box.They were promised a revolution. They were given a trap.
