Once the heartland of British labour history, trade unionism has
been marginalised in much recent scholarship. In a critical survey
from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, this book argues
for its reinstatement. Trade unionism is shown to be both
intrinsically important and to provide a window onto the broader
historical landscape; the evolution of trade union principles and
practices is traced from the seventeenth century to mid-Victorian
times. Underpinning this survey is an explanation of labour
organisation that reaches back to the fourteenth century.
Throughout, the emphasis is on trade union mentality and ideology,
rather than on institutional history. There is a critical focus on
the politics of gender, on the demarcation of skill and on the role
of the state in labour issues. New insight is provided on the
long-debated question of trade unions' contribution to social and
political unrest from the era of the French Revolution through to
Chartism.
