Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This 20th century text explores the social issues of its time, particularly the hardships, injustices and poverty faced by the working class, the vulnerable, and the destitute. At a time when the gap between society's elite and the poor was vast, the author incorporates a vivid range of real-life accounts to bring to light the true nature of Victorian society. Significant figures such as Henry Mayhew and William Booth are referenced, with their work on poverty and destitution providing a solid framework for the author's arguments.
