Item description from seller

Paperback. Frederich Engels (18201895) was a German businessman and political theorist renowned as one of the intellectual founders of communism. In 1842 Engels was sent to Manchester to oversee his father's textile business, and he lived in the city until 1844. This volume, first published in German in 1845, contains his classic and highly influential account of working-class life in Manchester at the height of its industrial supremacy. Engels' highly detailed descriptions of urban conditions and contrasts between the different classes in Manchester were informed from both his own observations and his contacts with local labour activists and Chartists. Extensively researched and written with sympathy for the working class, this volume is one Engels' best known works and remains a vivid portrait of contemporary urban England. This volume is reissued from the English edition of 1892, which was translated by noted social activist Florence Kelley Wischnewetzky (18591932). Frederich Engels (18201895) was a German businessman and renowned political theorist. This influential volume, first published in German in 1845 and in English in 1892, contains Engels' classic account of early Victorian working-class life in Manchester and remains a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century urban England.
