Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

Robert Tressell

This classic Wordsworth book portrays the impoverished underclass of Edwardian England, exploited by corrupt employers and authorities. Through emblematic characters, it advocates for socialist politics as the only hope for a humane life. Includes a foreword by Tony Benn. A timeless work with a relevant political message that has been honored by the Trade Union movement and political thinkers.
