Vivid accounts of ordinary peoples' lives from the Victorian period. Being diaries and reminiscences these bring to shocking life the everyday toil and difficulties of the working class during this time of increasing industrialisation, far more than the Reports of Inquiry etc on wwhich most histories are based.
