Book Synopsis
This work covers politics in Britain during the period of industrialization, focusing on how political meanings were sustained. It covers the goal of defining a middle ground between E.P. Thompson's concept of cultural materialism and the postmodern view of culture as a system of signs and codes.

Trade Review
"...an enlightening and challenging collection of essays..." -- Journal of Victorian Culture
"[The book] represents a pointed contribution to what Epstein refers to as the 'new political and cultural history of modern Britain' and aimes to 'renegotiate the ground' between cultural materialists and those favouring discourse. As a result, there is much of interest for those interested in modern British history as well as the nature of the historical discipline as a whole" -- Labour/Le Travail
