Everyone who lived during the reign of Edward VII was an Edwardian,
not merely the rich, the literary or the scandalous. In this
classic work, Paul Thompson records the life stories of some five
hundred Edwardians born between 1872 and 1906 in a pioneering use
of oral history, which captures a unique record of their times.
Domestics, labourers, skilled and semi-skilled workers,
professionals and high society men and women describe their work,
their families, their politics and their leisure. The Edwardians
establishes and describes the most important dimensions of social
change in the early twentieth century: class structure, gender
distinctions, age distinctions - urban and rural - and regional
differences. It also evaluates the forces for social change in the
period: economic pressures, religious and political conviction,
feminism and socialism, patriotism and the war, to reveal how near
and how far Edwardian society was to revolution in this time of
critical social change. By giving a voice to the contribution and
experience of ordinary people, Paul Thompson brings the Edwardian
era vividly to life. This new edition, is substantially revised and
includes a new chapter on Identity and Power, to take into account
major historiographical and social changes since its publication in
1975. It has new photographs and an up-to-date bibliography.
