| Sumario: | This is the first academic study entirely devoted to Liverpool labouring-class poet and activist Edward Rushton (1756-1814), long associated with the foundation of the Royal School for the Blind in 1791. From the turbulent 1790s Rushton owned a bookshop that was a hub of intense networking with many radical writers and intellectuals. A dedicated and unrelenting campaigner at the time of the dawning human rights discourse, Rushton was both a perceptive scrutinizer of the mechanisms of power and repression, and a remarkably complex poetic voice, fully consequent to his politics. |
