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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorkshop of the World\u003c\/i\u003e brings the full range and depth of Samuel's historical writing on nineteenth-century Britain to the fore.
