| 505 | 8 | |a "As mechanization spread through the British cloth industries in the early nineteenth century, skilled textile workers, already suffering because of a generally weak economy, high unemployment, and the weakening of traditional guides, saw their wages and jobs erode further. Earlier efforts to block the introduction of powered machinery through legislation had failed, and in 1811 loosely organized bands of workers, striking most often by night - first in the Midlands, then in Yorkshire and Northwestern England - began destroying the new knitting frames and other equipment. Claiming as their leader the probably mythical Ned Ludd, they became known as Luddites. Although best known for violent action, the Luddite movement also produced a considerable body of writing, from threatening letters, to petitions and proclamations, to poems and songs. In this book, literary scholar Kevin Binfield collects a broad range of complete texts written by Luddites or their sympathizers from 1811 to 1816, adding detailed notes on each and organizing them according to the three major regions of Luddite activity." "To introduce the volume Binfield provides a historical overview of the Luddites, then examines more closely their rhetorical strategies while illuminating the literary contexts of their writings. Ranging from judicious to bloodthirsty in tone, the texts reveal a fascination with legal forms of address and an acute awareness of the recent political revolutions in France and America, and reflect also the more personal forms of Romantic literature. As Adrian Randall of the University of Birmingham concludes in his foreword, this collection of diverse, carefully presented texts clearly demonstrates the significance of Luddite writings within the movement and serves as an important reference for scholars of rhetoric and of the history of labor, technology, and society."--Jacket | |

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 "As mechanization spread through the British cloth industries in the early nineteenth century, skilled textile workers, already suffering because of a generally weak economy, high unemployment, and the weakening of traditional guides, saw their wages and jobs erode further. Earlier efforts to block the introduction of powered machinery through legislation had failed, and in 1811 loosely organized bands of workers, striking most often by night - first in the Midlands, then in Yorkshire and Northwestern England - began destroying the new knitting frames and other equipment. Claiming as their leader the probably mythical Ned Ludd, they became known as Luddites. Although best known for violent action, the Luddite movement also produced a considerable body of writing, from threatening letters, to petitions and proclamations, to poems and songs. In this book, literary scholar Kevin Binfield collects a broad range of complete texts written by Luddites or their sympathizers from 1811 to 1816, adding detailed notes on each and organizing them according to the three major regions of Luddite activity." "To introduce the volume Binfield provides a historical overview of the Luddites, then examines more closely their rhetorical strategies while illuminating the literary contexts of their writings. Ranging from judicious to bloodthirsty in tone, the texts reveal a fascination with legal forms of address and an acute awareness of the recent political revolutions in France and America, and reflect also the more personal forms of Romantic literature. As Adrian Randall of the University of Birmingham concludes in his foreword, this collection of diverse, carefully presented texts clearly demonstrates the significance of Luddite writings within the movement and serves as an important reference for scholars of rhetoric and of the history of labor, technology, and society."--Jacket Foreword Introduction -- Midlands Luddism -- Northwestern Luddism -- Yorkshire Luddism -- Midlands documents -- Northwestern documents -- Yorkshire documents Adrian Randall -- 1789-1899 fast Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1812-1817 gnd rswk-swf Luddites fast Regency fast Riots fast Sabotage in the workplace fast Textile workers fast Luddites / Sources ram Sabotage / Angleterre (GB) / Histoire / 19e siècle / Sources ram Industrie textile / Personnel / Angleterre (GB) / Histoire / 19e siècle / Sources ram Émeutes / Angleterre (GB) / Histoire / 19e siècle / Sources ram Régence / Angleterre (GB) / Sources ram Sabotage swd Arbeiteraufstand swd Ludditen swd Textilindustrie swd HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain bisacsh Great Britain / History / 1789-1820 / Sources Luddites / Sources Regency / England / Sources Riots / England / History / 19th century / Sources Sabotage in the workplace / England / History / 19th century / Sources Textile workers / England / History / 19th century / Sources Geschichte Luddites Sources Sabotage in the workplace England History 19th century Sources Textile workers England History 19th century Sources Riots England History 19th century Sources Regency England Sources Ludditen (DE-588)4392211-9 gnd rswk-swf Europa Großbritannien (DE-588)4135952-5 Quelle gnd-content Ludditen (DE-588)4392211-9 s Geschichte 1812-1817 z 1\p DE-604 Binfield, Kevin Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Writings of the Luddites 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
