| Abstract |
|
In recent years historians have contested the validity of the concept of a labour aristocracy. Using newly rediscovered sources, this study explores the history of a skilled trade and its union in what was reputedly the classic age of this 'aristocracy'. Analysis of the labour process and work pattern at workshop level shows how the division of labour created a hierarchy corresponding to specific skills. But glass makers are considered also in terms of their life cycle and the transmission of skills from father to son.
