Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an 1873 collection of poetry by Scottish artisan Alexander Murdoch, is an important poetic contribution to the Glasgow literary scene of the time and a fascinating insight into the daily life of the working class in an industrial 19th-century society. Tackling issues of social injustice with wit and energy, this book presents themes of labor, hardship, poverty, resilience, and pride. Murdoch's verse captures the very soul of the common man's experience within the broader canvas of the booming industrial revolution. His ability to craft rich imagery out of the ordinary, out of the overlooked corners of society, gives his work a timeless appeal. A highly valuable historical document as well as a compelling read, this collection of verse offers a vivid insight into working-class life in 19th-century Glasgow, and is a compelling read for those interested in the everyday lives of the era.
