Artisans and Politics in Early Nineteenth-Century London is a book by Iorwerth Prothero that is based on his PhD dissertation at the University of London. It is a historical study of the working-class movements in London from 1800 to the emergence of Chartism in the 1830s. The book focuses on the role and position of the skilled artisans, who were the leaders and activists of these movements, and examines their political, economic, social, and cultural aspirations and struggles. The book also explores the influence of radical ideas, such as republicanism, Owenism, and Spenceanism, on the artisans worldview and actions. The book was published by Methuen in 1981 and has 418 pages.
