Excerpt from The Old Indispensables: A Romance of Whitehall But the needs Of the Circumvention Branch were growing acute. It had been little more than a matter for jesting when four boy clerks were sent to join a room which had previously been thought overcrowded by two Second Division clerks and their five temporaryassistants. It caused no inconvenience at all when all the occupants Of this room, now swelled to a total number of twenty-three, were driven into the corridor to make room for four hopeless failures Of superior rank whom the Derogation Of Crown Appanages Office had cheerfully lent to assist the Circumvention Branch in its labours. It is true that some remark was occasioned When a Higher Division clerk (albeit a Very little one, like the souls Of the penguins) was also turned out Of his room. But they put him at a corner, a distinguished though draughty position, arranged a screen round him and gave him a shorthand typist who could not spell and Of whom he was desperately afraid Thus the claims Of caste were satisfied. The crisis came at last quite suddenly. His Majesty's Secretary of State for Circumlocutory Affairs felt himself growing a little stale and departed from his rule Of ceasing work only to sleep and waking only to resume his labours. The first battle Of Ypres had been brought to a successful conclusion, and he felt that he Owed himself a little relaxation. Besides, he had been outwitted the day before by a contractor, and the day before that by a colleague. He attributed these misfortunes to the result Of overwork. SO when he was walking from his Office to the House and met On the way a polished female friend who invited him to dinner for that night, he felt that for once at least in this way he could best serve the State. The con sequences Oi his overwork must indeed have been serious for him to have missed a certain gleam Of pur pose in the lady's eye.

A new collection of essays from one of the most influential historians of the twentieth century ‘ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING, ORIGINAL INTELLECTUALS OF HIS GENERATION’, Stuart Hall, author of The Hard Road to Renewal The work of the pioneering historian Raphael Samuel opened up new vistas of historical enquiry. He was committed to the idea of people’s history, in which he excavated the ordinary lives of those often overlooked or discarded by other writers. This ‘unofficial knowledge’ transformed what history was, who was allowed to do it, and who it was for. Workshop of the World brings the full range and depth of Samuel’s historical writing on nineteenth-century Britain to the fore. From his pioneering study of the influence of the Catholic Church on England’s Irish population to his expansive and erudite essay on the itinerant labourers of Victorian Britain, the collection captures both the breadth and depth of his learning. Guided by both a political engagement as well as a methodological commitment to uncovering the stories of ordinary people, Workshop of the World will help introduce Raphael Samuel’s work to a new generation of readers.
