#Chartism #Histodons #Victorianists
I recently visited Kensal Green Cemetery in north west London where some of the best known figures in Chartism were buried - including Feargus O’Connor, GWM Reynolds and Henry Hetherington. I’ve written about it and posted some photos on the Chartist Ancestors website; I’ve also provided a map if anyone is interested in making a similar pilgrimage. https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/meet-the-kensal-green-chartists/ -
The aristocratic radical MP Thomas Slingsby Duncombe was the best and most consistent supporter of #Chartism and trade unions in the House of Commons. This print is from the Chartist Northern Star newspaper. Duncombe was an inveterate gambler who lost the family fortune at the card table, and had a very public reputation as a rake. But his private life hid a surprising secret. More for #histodons and #victorianists at https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/thomas-slingsby-duncombe-1796-1861/

Been trying to write a conference paper this morning and I am at the 'dreadful drivel' stage but hoping it soon morphs into the 'something salvageable' stage.

My first toot! Hello, I'm Claire I'm a writer of #nonfiction for adults and #folklore and folk tales for kids. Keen to connect with #writingcommunity
I'm also studying for a PhD part-time on the folklore of death and dying in 19th century England so also keen to connect with more academics and #Victorianists.

So far so mysterious! The posts and replies seem familiar enough but the disaggregating is still baffling - in practice, not so much in theory. Anyway, where are the #Victorianists hanging out? And more #Book people?
