Two Cocks on the Dunghill by Penny Young,
published by Twopenny Press.
Two Cocks on the Dunghill is an account of the extraordinary relationship between two leading radical reformers of the early 19th century, who spent their lives fighting for justice, human rights and a reformed, democratic House of Commons. Both were imprisoned because of their beliefs and both became fiercely independent members of parliament. The men were William Cobbett (1763-1835) and Henry Hunt (1773-1835).
