The work of the pioneering historian Raphael Samuel helped opened
up new vistas of historical enquiry, bringing about the
democratisation of the historical discipline, as well as its
practice via the influential History Workshop movement of which he
was a founder. Yet much of his own historical research remains
inaccessible to the general reader, hidden in academic journals and
obscure volumes. Now, for the first time, Workshop of the World
brings the full range and depth of Samuel's historical writing on
nineteenth-century Britain to the fore. From his pioneering study
of the influence of the Catholic Church on England's Irish
population to his expansive and erudite essay on the itinerant
labourers of Victorian Britain, The Workshop of the World shows
both the breadth and depth of his learning. Guided by both a
political engagement as well as a methodological commitment to
uncovering the stories of ordinary people, The Workshop of the
World will help introduce Raphael Samuel's work to a new generation
of readers.
