DOI: 10.1558/equinox.42760

Blurb:

This chapter looks at the decades following Chartism when Ball, though not without his opponents, was commonly seen as a positive figure (whether reformist or radical). This also includes discussion of how Ball was used as a revolutionary supporter of abolitionism, echoing ideas of English identity found among Chartists.
