In this insightful new study, Andrew August examines the British
working class in the period when Britain became a mature industrial
power, working men and women dominated massive new urban
populations, and the extension of suffrage brought them into the
political nation for the first time. Framing his subject
chronologically, but treating it thematically, August gives a vivid
account of working class life between the mid-nineteenth and
mid-twentieth centuries, examining the issues and concerns central
to working-class identity. Identifying shared patterns of
experience in the lives of workers, he avoids the limitations of
both traditional historiography dominated by economic determinism
and party politics, and the revisionism which too readily dismisses
the importance of class in British society.
