Rooted in this assertion, the present essay examines and interprets the version of the Queen Caroline affair in the three radical periodicals that resisted the passing of the Six Acts in 1819. These were<jats:italic>The Republican<\/jats:italic>, edited by Richard Carlile;<jats:italic>Cobbett\u2019s Weekly Political Register<\/jats:italic>, edited by William Cobbett; and the<jats:italic>Black Dwarf<\/jats:italic>, edited by Thomas Jonathan Wooler. The Conclusion determines the extent to which early nineteenth-century radical journalism contributed to political and cultural progress. The protagonists of the Queen Caroline affair in the radical periodicals were timeless: they were corruption, injustice, lack of freedom, and the public as the motors of change\u2009\u2013\u2009a political struggle with deep cultural undertones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/culture-2022-0145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]],"date-time":"2022-04-20T06:35:21Z","timestamp":1650436521000},"page":"88-99","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Queen Caroline Affair in Radical Periodicals"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3664-2764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgina","family":"Abreu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CEHUM\u2009\u2013\u2009Centre for the Study of the Humanities, School of Arts and Human Sciences, University of Minho , Campus de Gualtar , 4710-057 Braga , Portugal"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022091316202535783_j_culture-2022-0145_ref_001","unstructured":"Abreu, Georgina.
