Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's primary focus is the crippling poverty and suffering endured by England's working class in the early 1800s. The author lived among the poor for over a year, and traveled thousands of miles on foot, interacting with countless families to gain a deep understanding of their dire situation. The author argues that both the government and wealthy landowners of the era were responsible for the plight of the poor and landless laborers, many of whom had been impoverished due to a series of enclosure acts and other changes in property rights that stripped them of the common lands that had once provided some level of economic security. The author also examines the need for both education and representation in the lives of England's poor. By providing an unflinching look at the desperate living conditions of this era, this book makes a powerful case for the need for reform from the highest levels of government.
