First published in 1976. This book covers working-class history
from the decline of Chartism to the formation of the Labour Party
and its early development to 1914. It gives a historical
perspective to the essentially defensive, materialist orientation
of twentieth century working-class politics. David Kynaston has
sought to synthesise the wealth of recent detailed research to
produce a coherent overall view of the particular dynamic of these
formative years. He sees the course of working-class history in the
second half of the nineteenth century as a necessary tragedy and
suggests that a major reason for this was the inability of William
Morris as a revolutionary socialist to influence organised labour.
The treatment is thematic as much as chronological and special
attention is given not only to the parliamentary rise of Labour,
but also to deeper-lying intellectual, occupational, residential,
religious, and cultural influences. The text itself includes a
substantial amount of contemporary material in order to reflect the
distinctive 'feel' of the period. The book is particularly designed
for students studying the political, social and economic background
to modern Britain as well as those specialising in
nineteenth-century English history.
