Looks at one hundred years of radicals and radicalism in Liverpool. Ranging widely across a century of politics, music, football, theatre, architecture and art, this book also looks at the contemporary city and asks what role radicalism can play in the future of Liverpool.

Uncontrollable, anarchic, and alienated from mainstream England, the Liverpool of popular British imagination is a hotbed of radicalism and creativity. This reputation is richly deserved, as the city has played host to a surprising number of radical events and innovations over the past century. Starting its chronicle in 1911, "Liverpool: City of Radicals" surveys the role of Liverpool in a wide range of fields, examining events including the near revolution of the Liverpool Transport Strike. Exploring one hundred years of art, music, politics, football, architecture, and theater, the bookconcludes with a look at the city today and what role radicalism will continue to play in its future.
