John Host addresses liberal, Marxist and post modernist
historiography on Victorian working people to question the special
status of historical knowledge. The central focus of this study is
a debate about mid-Victorian social stability, a condition
conventionally equated with popular acceptance of the prevailing
social order. Host does not join the debate but takes it as his
object of analysis, deconstructing the notion of stability and the
analysis that purports to explain it. Host examines an extensive
range of archival material to illustrate the ambiguity of the
historical field, the rhetorical strategies through which the
illusion of its unity is created, and the ultimately fictive
quality of historical narrative.
