Guide

Cobbett died in 1835 at the age of seventy-two, but these texts, taken from a four-year period between 1830 and 1834, are by no means the writings of retirement or retreat. They begin with Cobbetts influential response to the Captain Swing riots in his newly-launched Twopenny Trash, and end with his Legacy to Labourers which is in many ways a summation of the most important aspects of his thought on legal and Constitutional matters.

As elsewhere, these texts are notable for their ideological consistency and rhetorical unity. The Twopenny Trash debates a number of issues - corruption, misuse of the tithes, Malthusian population theory, Captain Swing, and the Reform Act - and yet approaches each through a focus which unifies all these as aspects of the plight, and the rights, of the poor. Similarly, Cobbett focuses his self-defence during his trial of 1831 by dwelling on the trial and execution of the Swing rioter Henry Cook, hanged, unjustly Cobbett claims, for an assault on Bingham Baring; the son of the Banker. And in A Legacy to Labourers, he argues against Malthusian Poor Law reform by stressing the equal value of the poor and their equal rights under the ancient constitution of England.

Launched in the summer of 1830, and ending with the passage of the Reform Act in 1832,

The cheap paper contained a mixture of off-prints from the Political Register (a strategy reminiscent of the 1816 two-penny enterprise) and of pieces specially written for the paper. Cobbetts audience is, as before, the labouring and particularly agricultural poor, and the papers claim to significance is its role in focusing those Radical activities which, Cobbett claims, led directly to the passage of the Reform Act. My selections concentrate on a limited number of the issues covered by the paper - the luxury of the elite versus Malthusian restrictions on the poor, the Captain Swing fires, and the agitation for Reform Act - in order to show the argumentative and rhetorical progression of Cobbetts presentation of these topics.

As in 181617, Cobbetts writings speak of a moment of crisis, and the possibility of change to be achieved through the direct intervention in affairs by the labouring classes. But whereas in 1816 Cobbetts certainty that change must come is based on an economic analysis which predicts disaster, by 1830 the economic liberalism which Cobbett associates with the new order (responsible for the sufferings of the poor) is firmly entrenched and seems unassailable. When the labourers riot in 1830, Cobbett does not predict revolutionary change (as he had effectively done in 1816 despite his protestations to the contrary) but a more equitable distribution of power. In other words, the heady excitement of 1816 when annual Parliaments and manhood suffrage seem briefly possible, is replaced in these writings with a harder-nosed pragmatism where the 10 suffrage is the best that can be achieved, and the role of Radical politicians in a reformed Parliament is to offer representation and a voice to the people, in dialogue with the entrenched commercial culture.
