The recent history of the working class is essential to any account of modern Britain: between 1880 and 1950 manual workers and their dependents made up three-quarters of the British population. In this fascinating collection of essays, Ross McKibbin examines the social and political character of the working class, as well as its relationship with the rest of society and the State.

What emerges is a coherent picture of the world in Britain's social classes.

McKibbin has written an illuminating work which takes the vitally important step from labour to working-class history', Times Literary Supplement
