Excerpt: ... bowl bag and its contents into the water. "There you go," said he, "you shall not make a botch of me, I shall be master of my trade." And here is seen the future man in the boy. He had an old maiden aunt living in the village. She, like his mother, was a convert of Whitefield's, and a pious woman. In the winter nights, after shop hours, she coaxes James to read to her, and takes care that the books she puts into his hands are good and profitable. He thus gets a taste for reading, and this, coupled with the religious training at home, results in his mother's counsels to him becoming more deeply impressed on his mind. In course of time he finishes his apprenticeship; gets a certificate from his master, which he thinks overdrawn; for he is too honest to drink in flattery, and hates shams. Then he sets off to London, in order to get further insight into his trade. After a time he comes north to Wooler, where he is engaged as foreman in the shop of a Mr Morton, in whose employment he remains for four years. Here he is much pained to see the desecration of the Sabbath; the youths after the forenoon service betaking themselves to amusements as on ordinary days. His thirst for reading had not diminished, but his stock of books is small. On the Saturday evenings he would go to a secondhand book-stall, select a book, sometimes so worn that it will scarcely hold together; but he manages to bind it, and in course of time he has got together a somewhat decent library. On Sabbath afternoons, when the weather is favourable, he seeks retirement on the hill-side. These he finds seasons of pure enjoyment, and he there stores his mind with knowledge, and worships his God. In his lodgings there is no recognition of God in any way, and, though otherwise...

Download or read book Bread Winner written by Emma Griffin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forgotten story of how ordinary families managed financially in the Victorian era--and struggled to survive despite increasing national prosperity "A powerful story of social realities, pressures, and the fracturing of traditional structures."--Ruth Goodman, Wall Street Journal "Deeply researched and sensitive."--Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph, "Best History Books of 2020" Nineteenth century Britain saw remarkable economic growth and a rise in real wages. But not everyone shared in the nation's wealth. Unable to earn a sufficient income themselves, working-class women were reliant on the 'breadwinner wage' of their husbands. When income failed, or was denied or squandered by errant men, families could be plunged into desperate poverty from which there was no escape. Emma Griffin unlocks the homes of Victorian England to examine the lives - and finances - of the people who lived there. Drawing on over 600 working-class autobiographies, including more than 200 written by women, Bread Winner changes our understanding of daily life in Victorian Britain.

Download or read book A History of British Working Class Literature written by John Goodridge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of British Working-Class Literature examines the rich contributions of working-class writers in Great Britain from 1700 to the present. Since the early eighteenth century the phenomenon of working-class writing has been recognised, but almost invariably co-opted in some ultimately distorting manner, whether as examples of 'natural genius'; a Victorian self-improvement ethic; or as an aspect of the heroic workers of nineteenth- and twentieth-century radical culture. The present work contrastingly applies a wide variety of interpretive approaches to this literature. Essays on more familiar topics, such as the 'agrarian idyll' of John Clare, are mixed with entirely new areas in the field like working-class women's 'life-narratives'. This authoritative and comprehensive History explores a wide range of genres such as travel writing, the verse-epistle, the elegy and novels, while covering aspects of Welsh, Scottish, Ulster/Irish culture and transatlantic perspectives.
