The intellectual life of the British working classes
Rose, Jonathan, 1952-2010
Book
Through its novel and challenging approach to literary history, this text gains access to politics, ideology, popular culture and social relationships across two centuries of British working class experience. Now in its second edition, this landmark book provides an intellectual history of the British working classes from the preindustrial era to the twentieth century. Drawing on workers' memoirs, social surveys, library registers, and more, Jonathan Rose discovers which books people read, how they educated themselves, and what they knew. A new preface uncovers the author's journey into labor history, and its rewarding link to intellectual history.
