  • Andy Durr, 1917-2014

    Open AccessAlun HowkinsARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2017

    Andy Durr, who died at his home in Brighton in December 2014, will be remembered by those involved in the History Workshop movement and its conferences from the late 1970s until their end in the 1990s. Andy was in many ways typical of what was best about those meetings. A self-educated, deeply political man of the old trade-union left, he was also a bibliophile, a collector of commemorative china, Staffordshire figurines, banners and symbols, a w…

  • John Gurney (1960-2014)

    Alun HowkinsARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2016

    John Gurney, who died tragically young in December 2014, was an outstanding socialist historian of the revolutionary years of England's seventeenth century. He was born in Vienna the son of Joyce (née Wilkins) and Dick Gurney, who was working for the International Atomic Energy Agency. He spent his childhood there and in Geneva before coming back to school in London. He went to Sussex as an undergraduate in the late 1970s and followed this with a…

  • History's Value

    Alexander, S Alexander et al.ARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2011

    This issue of HWJ carries two features which spring directly or indirectly from the work of two founding editors, Tim Mason and Gareth Stedman Jones. Together these show how the study of British and European history has changed in the past forty or so years. On German and Italian fascism and modern British history respectively, they remind us of the value of historical thinking as a means to comprehend political and cultural change. The questions…

  • Digital Sources, Access and 'History of a Nation

    Alexander, S Alexander et al.ARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2011

    Every ten years a frisson passes through the diasporic world of British family history when the manuscript census forms compiled a hundred years earlier become available to the modern historian. The 1911 manuscript census was released unexpectedly early – and online – in January 2009. Overnight, and with relative ease, family historians could take the next step along the trail of their own micro-history. For other historians too the release of th…

  • John Saville (1916-2009)

    Alun HowkinsARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2010

    John Saville was one of the most important Marxist historians of the postwar period. Unlike many of his generation he remained unflinching in his commitment to the traditions of the British and European Left which shaped him, while remaining a rigorous scholar of the economic and social history of Britain and Europe. He was born John Stamatopoulos in Lincolnshire, the son of a Lincolnshire woman, Edith Vessey, and a Greek man who was called up in…

  • The Left and Folk Song

    Alun HowkinsARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2009Citada por: 1

    For much of the twentieth century ‘folk music’ was the music of the left in Britain and North America. The most obvious manifestations were (and are) to be found in overtly political song, from the ‘Dust Bowl Ballads’ of Woody Guthrie in the 1930s to the Critics Group of 1960s Britain and up to ‘The Imagined Village’ today, fronted by Billy Bragg and Martin and Liza Carthy. These were songs which celebrated the life and struggles of working men a…

  • Adaptable and sustainable? Male farm service and the agricultural labour force in midland and southern England, c. 1850–1925 1

    Open AccessAlun Howkins, Nicola VerdonARTICLEThe Economic History Review2007Citada por: 6Referencias: 4

    This article argues that farm service was an adaptable and sustainable system of hiring labour in areas of midland and southern England after 1850, having much in common with the model recently identified for northern England and Scotland. Analysing the Census Enumerators Books from selected parishes in seven counties in 1851, 1871, and 1891, we reveal an intricate pattern of farm service ‘survival’ both within and between counties. We then use a…

  • From Diggers to Dongas

    Alun HowkinsARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2002Citada por: 2

    This is the text of a professorial inaugural lecture given at the University of Sussex in October 2001. It seeks to present a broad picture of English Radicalism in which the land has a central, if changing, place. It argues that the idea of the land as a lost ‘birthright’ has consistently informed radical movements from the Diggers in the seventeenth century though to the ‘tribes’ associated with anti-globalisation protests in the twentieth. How…

    Open AccessAlun HowkinsARTICLERural History1998Citada por: 3Referencias: 4

    The ... history of the rural areas during the Second World War is virtually unstudied. There is some work on agriculture and agricultural policies, but the extent to which these rely on K.A.H.Murray's ‘official’ history, published in 1955, is testimony both to the quality of Murray's work and the general paucity of more recent published research. Moving away from the directly official, or economic history, we move into the field of memoir and rem…

    Open AccessAlun HowkinsARTICLERural History1997

    Raphael Samuel, who died tragically of cancer at the end of last year, was one of the outstanding social historians of post-war Britain. A founding figure of the History Workshop movement as a tutor at Ruskin College, he went on with others from that movement to found the History Workshop Journal in 1976. He was also series editor, as well as an editor and author, for the 30 or so books published in the History Workshop Series between 1975 and 19…

  • Wee be black as Hell’

    Open AccessAlun Howkins, Linda MerricksARTICLERural History1993Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    This essay began from a continuity, or perhaps a persistence. Working as historians and cultural critics in very different periods, early modern England and the nineteenth-century countryside, we have both been struck for some years by continuities of behaviour in situations of riot or disorder. At one level this was first pointed to in the work of E.P. Thompson and George Rude in relation to eighteenth-century riot. Both these writers argued tha…

    Open AccessAlun HowkinsARTICLERural History1990Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

    The history of the labouring poor in the late nineteenth century has been shaped by different and often competing ‘ways of seeing’. Rural labourers occur in histories of social policy as clients or victims of the Poor Law; to the historian of crime they are social bandits or deviants; even to the historian of conventional politics they are the ‘objects’ of reform. All these ways of seeing are important, but I want to concentrate on one in particu…
