Books by Marcel van der Linden

This volume makes available in English a collection of 12 of Professor Van der Linden's most important essays on the theme of transnational labour history. Previously published in a range of journals and books, this text collects them for all students of European labour history.

The essays in this 1994 book aim to integrate labour history within the broader discipline of social history and to demonstrate the continuing vitality and validity of the sub-discipline. Each essay is in itself a response to criticisms of the ways in which labour historians have approached their subjects.
