Note

Summary: "Daniel L. Christopher-Smith focuses on the life and efforts of Keir Hardie, one of the founders of the UK Labour Party and one of the foremost figureheads of trade unionism. Drawing upon the work of two significant American theorists contemporary to Hardie's efforts, Herbert Guttman's classic essay on "Working Class Religion" and Michael Gold's call for "Proletarian Literature", Christopher-Smith marries British and American historical and theoretical debates to argue that Hardie's work is surely the quintessential example of a "proletarian exegesis" of the Bible"--Provided by publisher
