This four-volume collection explores the idea that, for Victorians
and Edwardians, the meanings attached to work and the meanings
attached to being without work were always dependent upon each
other, knotted together by the imperative for a man to desire
employment and be willing to work. Mechanization and the decline of
old trades, the creation of single-industry cities and towns, the
migration of agricultural labourers from the countryside to these
cities and to London, the intensification of the sweated
industries, and the displacement of the labour of adult men by the
labour of women and adolescent boys all contributed to urgent
conversations about the relationships between work and unemployment
and are examined through primary sources. Accompanied by extensive
editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to
students of British History.
