Peterloo

This session introduces students to the Peterloo Massacre 1819 and asks them to examine the causes of the day’s historic events. Students are encouraged to think about the importance of banners and political symbolism to protest movements, and are familiarised with Percy Shelley’s Masque of Anarchy.
