First published in 1981, Bread, Knowledge and Freedom is a study of
142 working class autobiographies all of which cover some part of
the period between 1790 and 1850. It is a full-scale examination of
a form of source material that is significantly extensive. The book
illustrates many aspects of ordinary working-class family life as
well as the working-class pursuit of knowledge and literacy and the
attempts of the middle-class educators to impose their notion of
‘useful knowledge.’ Dr. Vincent concludes with an assessment of
the contribution of autobiography to nineteenth century working
class history. This book will be of interest to students of
history, sociology and literature.
