Summary:

Kidd argues that emergence of Labour politics in southern England represented the renewal of the working-class radical tradition. Mapping the trajectory of Labour politics from its mid-Victorian origins to the 1920s, the book offers a new narrative that challenges conventional understandings of politics, identity and ideology in modern England.
