Part of a series designed specifically to meet the needs of A-level students, this book is an account of the emergence of working-class movements in Britain, as well as an analysis both of the events and historiographical interpretations of them. The chapters are divided into manageable sections for reading and note making. The book provides a narrative account of Chartism, the changing structure of Trade Unionism and the emergence of the Labour Party. Sections of guidance on note making and essay writing are included at the ends of chapters.
