Publisher Synopsis
Review of the hardback: '... this book has a lot to say in delineating working-class attitudes and behaviour and makes a sizeable contribution to our understanding of the subject.' Contemporary Review Review of the hardback: 'It is impossible to read this book without being moved and caught up in the narrative of the pitiful, tragic, and often deplorable examples, which Strange uses to illustrate her arguments. the book is a highly effective academic treatise, base on a doctoral thesis, and with well constructed and clear points of principle and theory carefully expounded in the introduction.'
