Postscript. Malcolm Chase (1957–2020)
No full textMalcolm Chase, disparu à l’âge de soixante-trois ans, était un pilier de l’atelier de l’histoire (History Workshop) dont il incarnait merveilleusement les idéaux. Il était imprégné des travaux de E. P. Thompson, et l’histoire « par le bas » (history from below) lui tenait passionnément à cœur. Ce qui caractérisait tout particulièrement les travaux de Malcolm, c’étaient les efforts considérables qu’il déployait pour reconstruire la vie des gens pauvres et pour prendre au sérieux la manière don..
Malcolm Chase: A Roundtable Tribute
No full textThis paper brings together the reflections by three historians who knew Malcolm Chase, presented at the Northern History memorial conference in Leeds on 29 November 2024. It shows how integral Malcolm Chase’s work was to nineteenth-century political and labour history of Britain. It explains his impact and legacy on the study of history, especially in and of northern England, and ends with a call for more work on regional and working-class history
George Howell, the Webbs and the political culture of early labour history
No full textThis essay focuses upon British trade unionism and examines the different interpretation of the formation and emergence of trade unions. George Howell, in his various writings, argued that trade unions had their origin on Anglo-Saxon rights and in the emergence of the medieval guilds that distinguished between skilled and unskilled workers. Alternatively, the Webbs trade unions emerge somewhere around the beginning of the eighteenth century and set up this new orthodoxy of the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century trade unionism. The Webbs shaped an historiography and explanation which Malcolm Chase, amongst others, now challenge on the basis of recent research which has revealed the legacy of the guilds.</p
Malcolm Chase (1957–2020)
No full textMalcolm Chase, who has died aged sixty-three, was a strong supporter of History Workshop and a great embodiment of its ideals. He was steeped in the work of E. P. Thompson and cared passionately about history from below. One of the distinguishing features of Malcolm’s work was his deeply felt commitment to reconstructing the lives of the poor and taking their politics seriously. Like Thompson, he was particularly strong on the tone of workers’ voices in the past. In a remarkably productive career, over the last quarter century, he became an important historian of nineteenth-century British radicalism and the leading authority (in a crowded field) on Chartism. Heavily committed to adult education, he was a gifted teacher and mentor to a large number of students. In his funeral address for Malcolm, Robert Poole noted that the same words would often come up when people spoke about him: ‘inclusive, generous, open-minded, careful, engaging, insightful, humane’. The sorrow felt by friends, colleagues and readers following his death expresses the feeling that a major historian and an empowering presence in the life of the scholarly left has now gone.</p

Chartist Studies and Malcolm Chase: a Re-appreciation
Full text linkMalcolm Chase (1957–2020) was the pre-eminent scholar of the Chartist democratic movement, and more broadly, of working-class political and social action in early nineteenth-century Britain. His work in many respects shaped a shift in the study of Chartism within labour and cultural history. Rejecting the inward-looking diversion into the ‘linguistic turn’ of the early 1990s, Chase offered a broader and holistic view of not only what class, political radicalism and the land meant to working-class people, but also how it was a lived experience expressed in action as well as words. This article is a re-appreciation of Chase’s major contribution to the field. It charts the origins and development of Chartist studies, and surveys recent publications, including the wide range of articles published on Chartism in the English Historical Review

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
