Description

Kidd argues that emergence of Labour politics in southern England represented the renewal of the working-class radical tradition. Mapping the trajectory of Labour politics from its mid-Victorian origins to the 1920s, the book offers a new narrative that challenges conventional understandings of politics, identity and ideology in modern England. -- .

Reviews

'Provides an in-depth look into attitudes to radicalism and how it was succeeded by an inclusive Labour Party. The local lens is particularly welcome as it enables readers to catch a glimpse not just of politics, but of everyday life in Britain at the time and the ways in which the working people attempted to defend their economic and social interests.'
Alexandra Sippel, Miranda
