The Manchester Man traces the fall and rise of Jabez Clegg, a foundling swept away in his cradle by the River Irk in flood in 1799.In this politically significant work the narrative is set against the back-drop of the three decades from the Napoleonic Wars to the 1832 Reform Act, crucial years in Manchester's development as the world's first industrial city.It contains a vivid and highly accurate portrayal of the notorious Peterloo Massacre and its aftermath, as well as providing a valuable insight into the roles of some of the city's founding fathers.A riveting read for the casual reader and the serious student of Manchester history alike, complete with original illustrations and Introduction by Malc Cowle.Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, M5 4WX, in Manchester's twin city - Salford.
