Abstract
Acts and marks of commemoration, from anniversary dinners to monuments and statues, were vital components in the production of English democratic culture in the ‘age of revolutions’. But strategies for remembering were not always consensual and reformers were sometimes divided over both the form and subject of commemoration, often making it easier to criticise the loyalist appropriation of public space and the erection of monuments to the unworthy than it was to agree on an alternative. This essay considers these points of non-convergence and argues that it was not so much ideological or practical disagreements over constitutionalism or physical/moral force that divided the movement but political compromise - the gradual abandonment of bedrock demands for universal manhood suffrage.
