The graphic novel COURAGE: Luddites, Peterloo, Chartists, Suffragettes. tells the shockingly violent story of the struggle for the UK vote, from the Luddites to the Suffragettes: compact, vivid, raw and challenging. Told entirely in the words of the time.

Also on Radio 4 Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time covered Peterloo, it's historical context and legacy.

Professor Michael Bush has researched into the number of casualties at Peterlooo (it's his figures used on the new plaque). His book about the
Massacre, The Casualties of Peterloo is available from Amazon (and other bookshops).

The Spartacus website is a mine of information, including the background to the protest, profiles and eyewitness accounts from both sides.
