What was life like a hundred and fifty years ago as a deckhand on a collier brig?
What did a Victorian maid-of-all-work think of her drudgery? How did their lives differ from those of their parents,and their children,and how did these changes affect their beliefs and values? Using a completely new approach to the history of England,Ereira traces the experience of specific groups of working people from the advent of the enclosures to the present day.By retracing broadly similar periods from these different perspectives,the reader is taken through the barrier of generalisations such as 'the working class' and 'the common people' into the living experience of change.The stories put names and faces to people who are usually buried in the statistics of economic historians or the sweeping statements of conventional social history,but from them emerges a broad picture of the roots of political change.Ereira has drawn his material from many sources: local records,journals,and autobiographies,and interviews with people who can document social change from their own recollections.He presents,through the eyes of labourers,servants,soldiers,factory hands, seamen,immigrants,shopkeepers and miners,an exciting and challenging new view of England's past.
