Summary

"Through readings of writings by Sylvia Pankhurst and D.H. Lawrence, Shiach shows how labour underpins the political and textual innovations of the period. She concludes with an analysis of the 'general strike' both as myth and historical event. This study will be of interest to literary, cultural and historical scholars alike."--Jacket.
