It traces Canon Girdlestone’s early efforts, the rise of Joseph Arch, and the passion that sparked the first great Labourers’ meetings. Follow the unfolding story of how a village life in Barford helped ignite a movement that challenged old power and reshaped rural England.

This edition gathers key events, people, and debates that shaped the campaign for labor reform. It highlights the movement’s ambitions, its clashes with established interests, and the practical questions about cottages, wages, and rights that drove the era’s politics. Readers will see how ordinary workers, local advocates, and public opinion converged to push for change.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to a pivotal moment in English history: the rise of the National Agricultural Labourers Union in the 1870s. It chronicles the movementâ� �s origins, fueled by the plight of impoverished rural workers, and the figure who emerged as its leader, Joseph Arch. The author, a contemporary observer deeply invested in the cause, captures the struggles and triumphs of the union, detailing its core principles and the fierce opposition it faced from landowners and those who benefited from the status quo. The narrative explores the complex social and economic landscape of rural England, exposing the stark contrast between the wealth of landowners and the hardship faced by the laborers who worked their lands. The author weaves together detailed accounts of meetings, debates, and political maneuvering, giving voice to the laborers themselves and their powerful demands for better wages and working conditions. The book also delves into the role of the Church and its ambivalent stance towards the movement, adding a layer of theological and philosophical depth to the story. The authorâ� �s personal connection to the movement provides an intimate and insightful perspective on the hopes and anxieties of those fighting for a fairer system. Ultimately, this book serves as a poignant testament to the power of collective action and the enduring fight for social justice in the face of entrenched power structures.
