Description x, 291 pages ; 24 cm Contents 1. Philosophies of labour and selfhood -- 2. Technologies of labour: washing and typing -- 3. Sylvia Pankhurst: labour and representation -- 4. D. H. Lawrence: labour, organicism and the individual -- 5. The general strike: labour and the future tense Summary "Through readings of writings by Sylvia Pankhurst and D. H. Lawrence, Shiach shows how labour underpins the political and textual innovations of the period. She concludes with an analysis of the 'general strike' both as myth and historical event. This study will be of interest to literary, cultural and historical scholars alike."--BOOK JACKET Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Pankhurst, E.
