This volume of essays provides a comprehensive survey at national, regional and local levels of this key moment in British social history. Beginning with an overview and chronology, chapters then deal with regional perspectives and specific themes including the communist party and the church.
The seven-month national mining lock-out of 1926 was one of the most important industrial disputes of the twentieth century. This work contributes to the social and political history of the industrial working class in 1926, drawing on fresh methodological perspectives relating to the study of labour.

Keith Gildart is Professor of Labour and Social History at the University of Wolverhampton.
