Mike Savage and Andrew Miles provide a comprehensive introduction to the working class in Britain in the years after 1840. This textbook: * Includes a provocative, timely and clear defence of class analysis * Breaks new ground in showing how social mobility and urban change affected working class formation * Demonstrates how the history of the working class is politically reconstructed * Shows how class and gender interact in mediating social and political change'.. reasonably priced, well-informed, tightly argued, clearly written and buttressed by a most useful bibliography. It is an outstanding addition to Routledge's Historical Connections series and seems certain to become essential reading for students and teachers alike.' – Labour History Review
