The Representation of Working People in Britain and France

New Perspectives
By: Antoine Capet

£34.99

History is about “representation,” but what does that mean? International authors explore this elusive notion, covering working people in Britain and France from the Middle Ages to the present, revealing the diverse points of view and the bridges that link them.

It is a truism that History is about “representation”: but then opinions will diverge–as it should be–between what is meant by “representation”. Most of the chapters in this volume were first presented in November 2008 at an International Conference co-organised by the Society for the Study of Labour History and the University of Rouen. The authors–of all generations–come from Britain, France, Germany and the United States, and cover the field from the Middle Ages to the most recent developments.

The friendly confrontation of points of view and cross-fertilisation which result from such undertakings can only add to our perception of the diversity of that elusive notion in History, “representation”–of working people in Britain and France in this particular instance. Beyond the differences in periods, places and situations, the reader will not fail however to see the “bridges” which recurrently link the various elements in the collection.

Antoine CAPET, FRHistS, is Professor of British Studies at the University of Rouen. After submitting his Doctorat d’État on the British governing classes and social reform, 1931-1951 (published 1991), he continued to concentrate his research on Britain in and before the Second World War, notably on the Depression and the march to war. He was General Editor of the Revue française de civilisation britannique from 2003 to 2006. He has been Editor of the ‘Britain since 1914’ section of the Royal Historical Society Bibliography since 2001 and he sits on the International Board of Twentieth Century British History.
