Endorsements
This book is an absorbing collection of essays in honour of Professor Chris Wrigley, one of the leading figures in the study of British labour history. It focuses mainly upon Professor Wrigley's interests in Liberal and Labour politics, industrial relations, trade unions and industrial systems. Its originality lies in the fact that many leading historians have re-assessed relevant areas of their own related research. These contributors include prominent professors such as Ken Brown, Malcolm Chase, Kevin Jefferys, Keith Laybourn, John Shepherd, Andrew Thorpe, Noel Whiteside, Matthew Worley alongside other leading academics such as Joan Allen, Nicole Robertson and Janet Shepherd. The title Labour and working-class lives is broad ranging but includes a variety of topics, from the study of George Howell and his views on the emergence of British trade unionism (Chase), through to the disaffiliation of the ILP from the Labour Party in 1932 (Laybourn), the contentious link between the trade unions and the Labour Party (Thorpe) the generation of Lansbury's who followed George Lansbury (John Shepherd), the Progressive League ( Jan Shepherd), and British communism and Punk Rock (Worley). And, given the recent general election defeat of the British Labour Party, Kevin Jefferys asks 'Must Labour Lose? in an essay of more than usual significance for our time. The essays are written in an accessible manner which will appeal particularly to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics specialising in history politics and sociology. Yet it should also be of interest to the informed general reader. It should become an established text in most university libraries throughout the world.
