A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Rose's book... has the great virtues of clarity, wit and pungent opinion... it deserves its place alongside Richard Hoggart and Martin Weiner - alongside the writers who have yielded important new insights into our cultural ancestry and who shed light on ourselves.' --Ian Jack, 'Daily Telegraph'

'A superb book... I found the experience of immersion in it to be lastingly moving - like reading the poetry of John Clare, say, or Thomas Gray.' --Christopher Hitchens, 'The Times'

'Rose's account represents a historical triumph... fascinatingly and passionately told.' --A. C. Grayling, Independent on Sunday

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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 labour history, and its rewarding link to intellectual history.
