"Earning a living in Victorian and Edwardian times could be a rather uncertain business. If employment was obtained it was vey often a form of drudgery with very little reward. Although skilled workers could take pride in what they created, the majority of workers had to take consolation in the fact that they were taking home a wage and that, althiough conditiosn were poor, they were far worse outside of Britain. There were considerable improvements in the quality of working life in the 1920s and 1930s even considering the problems of major unemployment. [This] book paints a vivid image of the working man and woman in Britain between the yers of 1900 and 1950."--Book jacket.
