Books by Ross (Fellow and Tutor in Modern History McKibbin

A study of the social character of the British working class from the 1880s to the 1950s. Its central themes are working-class cultures and organizations, the relationship between the working class and other classes and the class changes wrought by two World Wars.

Ross McKibbin investigates the ways in which class culture characterized English society and intruded on every aspect of life, during the period 1918-1951. He also shows the increasing effects of Americanization on this culture.
