Abstract
AbstractWe all know in a general way what we mean by community life in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. But nobody seems ever to have tackled the question: how far were national party politics built into the structure of community life? Nobody seems to have collected political folk-songs or ballads, except in passing. Nobody has analysed the contents of those monumental local Who's Whos that local newspapers and hack journalists published about the turn of the century, which provide such unexpected sidelights on the leaders of the local Oddfellows lodges, Sunday schools, town councils, trades unions, political clubs and the like. And nobody, apart from Dr Ieuan Jones in Wales, has ever tried to trace the connection between chapel life and political life.
