About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993. Book. As New. Soft cover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 8 1/2" x 5 1/4", xxii, 236 pages, [xxiv] figures, glossary. George Sturt's frank and moving account of his trade as a wheelwright in the late nineteenth century offers a unique glimpse into the working lives of craftsmen in a world since banished by technology. The wheelwright's shop where he entered business had been operating for two centuries; this chronicle, first published in 1923, is a poignant record of that tradition, written as it was passing into history. E. P. Thompson's new foreword acclaims the significance of Sturt's engaging narrative as a vital document in the history of labour at the turn of the century. '... a classic ... Soft covers, virtually as new. .
