'Brings significant new insights and foregrounds extensive source material, along with her photographs, making this book essential reading.'
Dr Michael Pritchard, British Photographic History.
This major new publication provides a comprehensive overview of the largely-unknown work of Edith Tudor Hart (1908-1973) during her 40 years living in Britain. It is extensively illustrated with over 200 images (many published for the first time), original letters and documents held in leading international museums, galleries and private collections - including pages from her recently discovered personal scrapbook.
Tudor Hart's work - often inspirational - is important not only because of her powerful documentation of poverty and working-class life, but because her methodology enabled her subjects to be present in their own history and claim their lives as worthy of record.
