Beschreibung

The Secret History of the International Working Men's Association is a book written by Onslow Yorke in 1872. It provides an in-depth look at the history of the International Working Men's Association, a political organization that aimed to unite workers around the world and promote their rights and interests. The book covers the formation of the association in 1864, its growth and influence, and its eventual decline and dissolution in the early 1870s. Yorke's work is based on his personal experiences as a member of the association and his extensive research into its activities and internal workings. He provides insights into the personalities and motivations of key figures in the organization, as well as the political and social context of the time. The Secret History of the International Working Men's Association is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the labor movement and the struggle for workers' rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Onslow Yorke is the pen-name of William Hepworth Dixon (1821-1879), an English historian, traveller, editor, and journalist. He was born in Manchester and educated at King Edward's School in Birmingham. Originally trained in law, he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn but chose to pursue a literary career. He became known for his investigative writing on social issues, particularly prison conditions, and published several works on the subject. In 1853, he was appointed editor of The Athenæum, one of Victorian Britain's leading literary journals, a role he held until 1869. He travelled widely in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, and wrote popular historical and travel books including Her Majesty's Tower, The Holy Land, and New America. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, the Society of Antiquaries of London, and other bodies. Dixon used the pseudonym Onslow Yorke when writing on politically charged topics such as socialism and revolutionary movements.
