This article takes a biographical approach to the political history of the English working class, integrating readily-overlooked biographical information with the study of the organization of protest. By gleaning evidence from periodicals, advertisements, pamphlets, and other "ephemeral" sources, it illustrates the business practices undergirding radical agitation in the period 1833 to 1845.
