This title was first published in 2001. When the Chartist leader Ernest Jones emerged from prison in 1850, he was determined to capture the publics attention with a controversial and topical novel. The result of his endeavours was the remarkable Womans Wrongs, a series of five tales exploring womens oppression at every level of society from the working class to the aristocracy. Each story presents a graphic, often harrowing account of the social, economic and emotional victimisation of women, and taken together the tales comprise a devastating indictment of Victorian patriarchal attitudes and sexual inequalities. But Jones also shows womens refusal to accept this subjugated role, and he creates some of Victorian literatures most subversive and unruly heroines. He draws on sensationalism, reportage, melodrama and political analysis in order to expose the wrongs done by and to women.--Provided by publisher.

The Nineteenth Century
General Editors Preface
General Editors Preface
The aim of this series is to reflect, develop and extend the great burgeoning of interest in the nineteenth century that has been an inevitable feature of recent decades, as that former epoch has come more sharply into focus as a locus for our understanding not only of the past but of the contours of our modernity. Though it is dedicated principally to the publication of original monographs and symposia in literature, history, cultural analysis and associated fields, there will be a salient role for reprints of significant texts from, or about, the period. Our overarching policy is to address the spectrum of nineteenth-century studies without exception, achieving the widest scope in chronology, approach and range of concern. This, we believe, distinguishes our project from comparable ones, and means, for example, that in the relevant areas of scholarship we both recognize and cut innovatively across such parameters as those suggested by the designations Romantic and Victorian'. We welcome new ideas, while valuing tradition. It is hoped that the world which predates yet so forcibly predicts and engages our own will emerge in parts, as a whole, and in the lively currents of debate and change that are so manifest an aspect of its intellectual, artistic and social landscape.

This book is dedicated to the Chartist movement and the persistence of its memory.
' the pen should be devoted to the many
A movement that has not the mighty organ of a press at its command is but half a movement.'
Look back and see him when, fourteen years ago, in 1845, he first entered the political movement of the working classes, fulli of youth and vigour, and with active perseverance and mental capacity of no common order;see him on the platform teaching the men with homy hands their political and social rights with clear and intelligent argument;see him at his desk, studying to improve the minds of the working classes, as editor of the Northern Star and the Labourer, behold him giving up his means of living to serve as an unpaid delegate at the Conference of 1848, and rejecting a large practice which (as Barrister of the Middle Temple) was offered him by an eminent solicitor;follow him to Kennington Common and Bonner's Fields, to brave the dangers of lying spies and Government persecution;follow him to Manchester, and see him at the People's Institute, and think you hear him in one of his energetic speeches calling on the people to stand boldly forward to obtain their rights;see him at midnight dragged from his bed, and brought before a Government tribunal, and sentenced for more than two years to a felon's cell for serving his country according to the best of his judgement;see him, after undergoing his cruel punishment of solitary confinement on the silent system, with all his prospects blasted, again enter the field of political agitation, sacrificing his opportunity of taking his position once more in aristocratic society, to serve the people's cause; see him the sole heir to his uncle, worth 2,000 a-year, refusing to give up his political advocacy that he may inherit his fortuneand behold him disinherited accordingly.
It is a necessity that some classes should be enemies. This is a melancholy truthbut it is a truth nevertheless. It is injurious to create a false impression for the sake of writing with ink made of rose-water.
A brief biographical summary
Ernest Charles Jones was bom in Berlin on 25 January 1819. His family was well connected. Jones's father was equerry to Ernest, Duke of Cumberland (the future King of Hanover), after whom Jones was named, and the wider family owned land in Germany and England. Jones was educated in Germany but in 1838 the family moved to England. At this point in his life Jones could not have been more socially and politically removed from the Chartist movement which had just been bom. He moved in the fashionable circles of upper-class London life, and was presented at Court in 1841, the year in which he married the daughter of a Cumberland landowner. He qualified as a barrister in 1844, but his abiding passion was of a more romantic and bohemian inclination. From an early age he had shown a talent for writing effusive verse, and he looked to poetry as his true vocation. His first novel, a chivalric fantasy called The Wood Spirit, appeared in 1841. His literary aspirations were well in advance of his achievements, however, and the mid-1840s found him in serious financial difficulties. His purchase of Kearsney Abbey in Kent had badly defaulted and led to bankruptcy. In order to alleviate his debts, Jones took employment as clerk to a railway company, but the crisis also seems to have radicalized his outlook on life. After the outbreak of the French revolution in February 1848, Jones was one of the Society's delegates sent to congratulate the provisional government.
Jones played a prominent role in the revival of Chartism in 1848, sitting in the National Convention and the National Assembly. Given the repressive policies of the Whig government towards this renewed mass agitation, and taking into account Jones's passionate oratorical style, it was perhaps inevitable that he would fall foul of the authorities. In June 1848 Jones and several other London Chartists were arrested and accused of seditious behaviour and inciting unlawful assembly.
