Download or read book Labour s Lost Leader written by Paul Tyler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life story of Will Crooks has a Dickensian resonance. As a working class child, born into abject poverty, he experienced the rigours of Poplar Workhouse and Poor Law school. Nearly forty years later Crooks became Chairman of the Poplar Board of Guardians, the very board that had given him shelter during his challenging early years. Crooks was a member of the Coopers' Union for fifty-five years, and a leading pioneer of the trade union and Labour movement for over thirty. This significant and sometimes controversial figure has been overlooked by modern historians. Here Paul Tyler presents a pioneering political biography of a significant Labour figure at both a local and national level and an important reinterpretation of the early trade union and labour movement from the 1880s to the 1920s.

Download or read book Whitehall and the Labour Problem in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain written by Roger Davidson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most interpretations of late-Victorian and Edwardian social and economic trends have relied heavily upon the industrial labour statistics published by Whitehall. This book, originally published in 1985 incorporates a critical examination of the human resources, motivation and statistical techniques which generate that data base. It focuses on the production, structure, and output of the official statistics relating to a range of imperfections in the labour market and industrial relations, characterised by contemporary social observers, administrator and policy makers as ‘the labour problem.’ This study makes a significant contribution to the recent debate over the nature and motivation of late-Victorian and Edwardian social policy. It provides a case study with which to assess the hypotheses put forward by social scientists as to the relationship between social statistics and policy. Thirdly, in examining the motivation of official statisticians, the book will illuminate the changing role of the expert in British government growth since 1800. This book, with its wide range of primary sources, will be valuable to students of the history of late-Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and to the development of British industrial relations and the welfare state.
Download or read book The Ascent of John Tyndall written by Roland Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising from a humble background in rural southern Ireland, John Tyndall became one of the foremost physicists, communicators of science, and polemicists in mid-Victorian Britain. In science, he is known for his important work in meteorology, climate science, magnetism, acoustics, and bacteriology. His discoveries include the physical basis of the warming of the Earth's atmosphere (the basis of the greenhouse effect), and establishing why the sky is blue. But he was also a leading communicator of science, drawing great crowds to his lectures at the Royal Institution, while also playing an active role in the Royal Society. Tyndall moved in the highest social and intellectual circles. A friend of Tennyson and Carlyle, as well as Michael Faraday and Thomas Huxley, Tyndall was one of the most visible advocates of a scientific world view as tensions grew between developing scientific knowledge and theology. He was an active and often controversial commentator, through letters, essays, speeches, and debates, on the scientific, political, and social issues of the day, with strongly stated views on Ireland, religion, race, and the role of women. Widely read in America, his lecture tour there in 1872-73 was a great success. Roland Jackson paints a picture of an individual at the heart of Victorian science and society. He also describes Tyndall's importance as a pioneering mountaineer in what has become known as the Golden Age of Alpinism. Among other feats, Tyndall was the first to traverse the Matterhorn. He presents Tyndall as a complex personality, full of contrasts, with his intense sense of duty, his deep love of poetry, his generosity to friends and his combativeness, his persistent ill-health alongside great physical stamina driving him to his mountaineering feats. Drawing on Tyndall's letters and journals for this first major biography of Tyndall since 1945, Jackson explores the legacy of a man who aroused strong opinions, strong loyalties, and strong enmities throughout his life.

Download or read book War Commemoration and Civic Culture in the North East of England 1854 1914 written by Guy Hinton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a diverse set of civic war memorials in North East England commemorating three clusters of conflicts: the Crimean War and Indian Rebellion in the 1850s; the ‘small wars’ of the 1880s; and the Boer War from 1899 to 1902. Encompassing a protracted timeframe and embracing disparate social, political and cultural contexts, it analyses how and why war memorials and commemorative practices changed during this key period of social transition and imperial expansion. In assessing the motivations of the memorial organisers and the narratives they sought to convey, the author argues that developments in war commemoration were primarily influenced by – and reflected – broader socio-economic and political transformations occurring in nineteenth-century and early-twentieth century Britain.
