The condition of the working class in England / Friedrich Engels

Public ISBD Titre : The condition of the working class in England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Friedrich Engels ; V. G. Kiernan Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1987 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : 307 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-14-044486-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Working class  Social conditions.  England Résumé : The Condition of the Working Class is the best-known work of Engels, and in many ways still the best study of the working class in Victorian England. It was also Engels's first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports. The fluency of his writing, the personal nature of his insights, and his talent for mordant satire combine to make this account of the life of the victims of early industrial change into a classic - a historical study that parallels and complements the fictional works of the time by such writers as Gaskell and Dickens. What Cobbett had done for agricultural poverty in his Rural Rides, Engels did - and more - in this work on the plight of the industrial workers in the England of the early 1840s. This edition includes the prefaces to the English and American editions, and a map of Manchester c.1845. The condition of the working class in England [texte imprimé] / Friedrich Engels ; V. G.
