Overview

This is a full-length study of the material and visual culture of the British labour movement in almost half a century. It draws together the fruits of recent research into a comprehensive material and visual analysis of the nineteenth-century labour movement's development. It analyses the meaning of 'labour things', the role they played in the lives of working people and the ways they have influenced the writing of labour history. Over ninety illustrated, expertly contextualised objects are used to narrate the history of British labour in its most crucial phase of development.
