Drawing on newly-discovered manuscripts, this collection is the first modern edition of poetry by John Thelwall, the famed radical Romantic and champion of the working class.

The Peripatetic, first published in 1793, is a three-volume excursion through multiple genres, with debates about the rights of men and women, the politics of class and race, patriotism and nationhood, and the conflicts of modern culture.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in political theory and social justice. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
