Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Peter Proletarius was in fact the one of the nom de plumes of George Markham Tweddell - a 19th C Printer / publisher / author / People's Historian / socialist / Freemason and much more and hailed from Stokesley in North Yorkshire.

I've been working with Paul Tweddell to bring the Tweddell family's archives into the public domain in various ways and in light of the interesting comments on his poem, I thought your members might be interested in some of these resources.

George Markham Tweddell's fascinating story can now be found on this website http://www.tweddellhistory.co.uk/

and there is a list on the site of the family archives now located in the County archives in Middlesbrough.

We have also brought together all of his many poems (scattered throughout numourous publications (including the Chartist paper - The Northern Star) as well as many unpublished poems along with a discussion paper on the poems and bio of Tweddell. The E book is now available Free for download on this site
