This study is based on a wide range of business sources as well as newspapers, journals, novels and oral history, allowing Heller to put forward a new interpretation of working conditions for London clerks, highlighting the ways in which clerical work changed and modernized over this period.
'Challenging both popular prejudices and scholarly orthodoxies in his meticulous study of London clerical workers at the turn of the twentieth century, Heller argues that this giant, regimented, and increasingly mechanized class of wage laborers did indeed find meaning at the office.' Victorian Studies 'a revealing and thoroughly researched study' Business History 'sheds important new light on the day-to-day lives of the hundreds of thousands of young men who helped transform the world of work in the City of London.'
