First published in 1985, this book presents the first detailed
account of the relationship between the farmworkers, trades
unionism, and political and social radicalism. Rural radicalism,
one of the most important new features of late-nineteenth and
early-twentieth century politics, was particularly strong in
Norfolk and as such provides the focus for this study. The author
shows the how relationship between 'master and man' and 'man' and
'work' was changing in the period from the 1870s to the 1920s -
ending with the great strike of 1923. The main themes are the
shifts from religion to politics, from Liberalism to Labour, and in
more general terms from local to national consciousness. The book
shows men at work and the ways in which politics meshed - or failed
to mesh - together. Based on detailed local research and on many
hours of recorded interviews, it enables the voice of the labourer
to be heard, and a real sense of hope, fear and aspiration to come
through.
