A biography finally appeared. Harry Armytage's "A.J.Mundella 1825–1897 – The Liberal Background to the Labour Movement" was published in 1951. He made good use of Ms Mundella's copious research in his book, and before its publication in academic papers and a radio broadcast. Mundella is regularly mentioned in volumes recording the Victorian hosiery business, the history of education, and early labour relations. A couple of academic theses have examined his political reputation. The "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" completely rewrote his entry in 2004.
