"There is growing recognition amongst scholars that labour historians need to look beyond national borders in order to place the history of the working classes into a much broader context than has hitherto been the case. Whilst studies focused on individual countries are essential, it is only by comparing and contrasting the experiences across time and space that a true understanding of the subject can be attempted. One of the leading figures of this trend towards transnational history is Professor Marcel van der Linden, who has contributed much to the debate on cross-border processes and comparisons. This volume makes available in English a collection of 12 of his most important essays on the theme of transnational labour history. Previously published in a range of journals and volumes, this book brings them together in a single convenient collection, together with a new introduction and bibliography."
