Class and Conflict in Nineteenth-Century England 1815-1850, by Patricia Hollis
Published by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1973, 372 pages. Paperback (SR)
From the rear side cover: Against a background of the economic upheavals of the industrial revolution and the disturbing language of the French Revolution, the early nineteenth century saw 'the making of the English working 'class'. In the period from about 1815 to about 1850 working men demanded the right of everyone to vote and, in an ebb and flow of trades unionism, co-operation, labour exchanges and land reform, they attempted to protect their labour. This collection of documents, from working-class journalism, speeches, state trials and diaries, illustrates the attitudes and relationships of working men to each other and to other groups in society during this period of change. The selection also demonstrates the language of class employed in working men's economic and political theory, class relations in the years between Peterloo and the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, and the attempts by educationists, philanthropists, politicians and the religious to inculcate views and values more conducive to social stability and class harmony. The volume includes material from papers of the 1820S, like the Republican and the Trades Newspaper, and from the Northern Star of the 1840s, which has hitherto been largely inaccessible in book form.
The condition of the book is generally good. The covers have several scuffs and blemishes, and further wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is intact, and all pages are intact, unblemished and tightly bound. There is a name in pen on the first inside page
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
