- A People's History of Classics is a 670-page co-authored book by two authors. It was a principal output of a major AHRC-funded (Classics and Class) project, with the co-author as PI and the attributed individual as RA. The attributed individual worked on the project for 3.5 years FT and a further year writing and editing book. The co-authors each made a 50% contribution to the book, in terms of gathering research material. The 25 chapters were originally drafted by the authors singly, with the co-author contributing 14 and the attributed individual contributing 10, including chapters: 3 'Working-class readers (p.45-72); 4 '18th century working class poets' (p.73-96); 8 'Dissenting Classics' (p.163-185); 9 'Adult Education' (p.186-206); 11 'Scottish working classics' (p.234-253); 15 'Ragged-trousered philologists' (p.308-323); 18 'Class and the classical body' (p.361-382); 20 'Shoemaker classics' (p.420-439); 22 'Classics amongst the miners' (p.460-476); 25 'Theatre Practitioners' (p.514-532); and chapter 23 'Socialist and Communist Scholars' (p.476-495) was drafted in two separate halves. Each chapter was closely edited by the co-author, which included a single round of detailed comments and revisions, and a round of checking and proofing. All other work, including collecting the 135 images and securing associated permissions, writing captions and figures, index (the alphabet was halved), and prelims, was divided equally. The attributed individual designed and maintains the accompanying website, with content co-written and co-produced with the co-author (classicsandclass.info).
