The industrial revolution, which transformed 19th-century labour, brought about fundamental changes in the lives of working-class families. This book examines in detail the ways in which large-scale economic changes shape the microcosm of personal life.

Drawing on a wide range of studies in family history, historical demography and economic history, this book provides an overview of the transition from feudalism to capitalism, demonstrating the changing structure of families from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution.

This book proposes a substantial revision of the orthodox Marxist approach to understanding group consciousness and action.
