Book Description:

This book explores the formation of working-class identities in the period 1880-1930, as reflected in changes in work and industrial relations, family life, patterns of saving, and changing political allegiances. Trevor Griffiths challenges the notion that the period witnessed the emergence of a more united sense of class among British workers. Instead, the picture emerges of a working class for whom the ties of work and neighbourhood counted for less than thoseof religion and nationality.
