It focuses upon trade unionism, the co-operative movement, the rise and fall of the Labour Party, and working-class lives, comparing British labour movements with those in Germany and examining the social and political labour activities of the Lansburys. There is, indeed, some important work connected with the cultural developments of the British labour movement, most obviously in the essay written by Matthew Worley on communism and Punk Rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Wrigley: a tribute\u003cbr\u003eProfessor the Lord Hennessy of Nympsfield, FBA\u003cbr\u003eChris Wrigley: a personal reflection\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Margaret Walsh\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eKeith Laybourn and John Shepherd\u003cbr\u003e1 George Howell, the Webbs and the political culture of early labour history\u003cbr\u003eMalcolm Chase\u003cbr\u003e2 The appointment of Herbert Gladstone as Liberal Chief Whip in 1899\u003cbr\u003eKenneth D.
