Jones, Ernest Charles

Jones, Ernest Charles, 181969, English radical, lawyer, journalist, and poet. He was a prominent leader of the more militant wing of the Chartists (see Chartism). After imprisonment for sedition (1848–50), he edited a radical journal and later practiced as a lawyer. The Battle Day and Other Poems (1855) and his other labor verse have more literary merit than his sensational novels.

See his writings and speeches (ed. by J. Saville, 1952).
