Description

Victorian Labour History examines liberal, Marxist and postmodernist historiography of Victorian working people, challenging conventional assumptions about historical knowledge and interpretation. Originally published in 2004, this Routledge study deconstructs the notion of mid-Victorian social stability and questions the analyses purporting to explain it. John Host interrogates the special status of historical knowledge whilst exploring how identity and representation shaped labour experiences during the Victorian era. The work moves beyond participating in existing debates to instead analyse them critically, offering fresh perspectives on working-class history and the political dimensions of historical representation. Essential reading for scholars and students of Victorian history, labour studies, and historiographical theory.

Key Features

Victorian Labour History examines mid-Victorian social stability through deconstruction of liberal, Marxist and postmodernist historiographical approaches to working people.

John Host questions the special status of historical knowledge by treating debates about Victorian labour as objects of analysis rather than settling them.

The book explores how identity and representation shaped Victorian working-class experiences and shaped broader understandings of the social order.

Published by Routledge in 2004, this study contributes to labour history and historiographical theory for academic researchers and postgraduate students.
