Work, Society and Politics: The Culture of the Factory in Later Victorian EnglandThis acclaimed major interpretation of 19th century society and politics, 'Work, Society & Politics' concerns the human impact of the industrial revolution. Joyce's text offers a subtle and responsive understanding of the formation of class consciousness, and a recognition that deference and stability as well as independence in class relations grew out of working-class culture and community , and thus out of the centre of people’s lives. |
