Writings on the Wall: A Radical and Socialist Anthology, 1215-1984

First thus, first printing.  318pp.  Orange cloth bound boards, gilt lettering on spine.  8vo.  Cloth very slightly rounded at corners and spine tips.  Hint of shadowing on text block edges. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight.  Glossy dust wrapper, not price clipped, just a little bumped on extreme edges. A selection of writings, speeches and songs from 1215 onwards recording nearly 1000 years of protest and campaigning for justice, freedom and equality, revealing the roots of modern struggles for democracy, peace, rights and gender equality.  The familiar voices of the Levellers, Chartists, Suffragettes and early socialists appear alongside the less known voices of radicals and revolutionaries.
