聚集在曼彻斯特圣彼得球场聆听“演说家”亨利·亨特关于议会改革的演讲的和平抗议者遭到屠杀 200 年后，本书汇集了浪漫主义时代的学者，评估了英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰和北美此类国家暴力的影响。各章探讨了 P. B. 雪莱、约翰·济慈、沃尔特·斯科特、西德尼·欧文森、约翰·卡瓦克和 J.M.W. 等人物的作品中如何反映和修正了对暴力的态度和“人民”参与政府的主张。车工。他们的分析为文化参与作为抵抗压迫的手段和人类面对威胁和武力的复原力的标志提供了新的见解。总体而言，该书提出了这样的假设：“彼得卢”事件被称为“彼得卢”，是为了唤起英国在滑铁卢的军事胜利，这主要是一场关于参与者和观察者的感知和渴望身份的冲突，并且这场冲突体现了“人民”作为政府主张者的身份。承认民众的主张对于改革的通过至关重要。尽管彼得卢立即引发了镇压的反弹，但从长远来看，它促成了态度的转变，从而促成了改革。该书的结论是，国家暴力最终被证明对民众参与无效，尽管它也揭示了镇压措施如何作为一种微妙而隐蔽的暴力发挥作用，阻碍公民行动主义并继续引发文化抵抗。
Two hundred years after the massacre of peaceful protestors who had gathered in St Peter's Field, Manchester, to hear 'Orator' Henry Hunt speak for Parliamentary Reform, this volume brings together scholars of the Romantic Era to assess the implications of such state violence in England, Scotland, Ireland and North America. Chapters explore how attitudes toward violence and the claims of 'the people' to participate in government were reflected and revised in the works of figures such as P. B. Shelley, John Keats, Walter Scott, Sydney Owenson, John Cahuac and J.M.W. Turner. Their analyses provide fresh insights into cultural engagement as a means of resisting oppression and as a sign of the resilience of humanity in facing threats and force. On the whole, the book advances the hypothesis that 'Peterloo', as the event was termed to evoke the British military victory at Waterloo, was most of all a conflict over the perceived and aspirational identities of the participants and observers and that the conflict manifested the identity of 'the people' as claimants on government. Recognizing popular claim-making was crucial for the passage of Reform. Though Peterloo resulted in an immediate backlash of repression, it contributed in the longer term to the change in attitude enabling Reform. The book concludes that state violence ultimately proved ineffective against popular participation, though it also uncovers the ways in which repressive measures function as a subtle and hidden kind of violence that discourages civic activism and continues to call forth cultural resistance.
