Catherine Howe is a great story teller and her book Halifax 1842: A year of crisis is a great favourite of mine. See review at:-https://markwrite.co.uk/halifax-1842-a-year-of-crisis/
It is therefore great that she has had published a book on London 1848 at just £8.99
I shall be doing a fuller review of the book, which I read and commented on as it was being in written.
But for now here is how the book is being described online.
These events [the great Chartist meeting & petition' of 1848] have been written about many times before. Catherine Howe sets this story in its wider context, bringing a fresh eye to the material, weighing things up at a distance from the debates that have preoccupied professional historians. Howe is a story teller and what this book offers is a straightforward, detailed and open-minded account of what happened in 1848.
