Download or read book Routledge Revivals Poor Labouring Men 1985 written by Alun Howkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, this book presents the first detailed account of the relationship between the farmworkers, trades unionism, and political and social radicalism. Rural radicalism, one of the most important new features of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century politics, was particularly strong in Norfolk and as such provides the focus for this study. The author shows the how relationship between ‘master and man’ and ‘man’ and ‘work’ was changing in the period from the 1870s to the 1920s — ending with the great strike of 1923. The main themes are the shifts from religion to politics, from Liberalism to Labour, and in more general terms from local to national consciousness. The book shows men at work and the ways in which politics meshed — or failed to mesh — together. Based on detailed local research and on many hours of recorded interviews, it enables the voice of the labourer to be heard, and a real sense of hope, fear and aspiration to come through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Poor Labouring Men: Shewing That by the County Court Practice They Are Led Into Debt, and Compelled to Pay Debts by a Process of Extortion and Oppression Most Prolonged and Harmful, and Also Unjust Because Such Process Is Used Against Poor Men Only Bankruptcy and composition are not the remedies that can be applied to the indebtedness of a poor man. The beginning of indebtedness should be made impossible, or at the least rendered less easy for him, for he cannot afford any after or later remedies. The cause and the beginning of indebtedness is the credit given by the shopkeepers, and the life of the credit system is the payment by instalments out of future earnings enforced by the County Court. If the law was that the value of the present goods of the poor man was the extent of the remedy of his creditors, and the only available asset for payment of his debts, the shopkeeper would not trust him near so much and the debtor, if he could not defer the day of payment by the system of instalments, but found his goods forthwith seized for the Whole amount of his debt, would not dare to ask for or take the shopkeeper's goods, unless he paid for them in ready money. Both would be in their several interests intent on one object, and that would be the diminution and discontinuance of debt, credit, and large accounts, and the volume of indebtedness by poor men would be infinitely less. The only judgment for debt allowed to be recorded, should be that the debt be immediately, or within one month, paid in one sum. Neither the creditor, the debtor, nor the Court should have power to obtain, give, or suffer a judgment for payment by instalments, or for deferred payment; nor should the Court be allowed to receive any part or instalment of the debt, but only the whole at one single payment. The poor man would thus be brought to regard a County Court debt not as an evil to be always with him, but as an impost or assessment, like a fine by the magistrates, which he must discharge at once.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembled from a series of newspaper articles first published in the newspaper *Morning Chronicle* throughout the 1840s, this exhaustively researched, richly detailed survey of the teeming street denizens of London is a work both of groundbreaking sociology and salacious voyeurism. In an 1850 review of the survey, just prior to its initial book publication, William Makepeace Thackeray called it "tale of terror and wonder" offering "a picture of human life so wonderful, so awful, so piteous and pathetic, so exciting and terrible, that readers of romances own they never read anything like to it." Delving into the world of the London "street-folk"-the buyers and sellers of goods, performers, artisans, laborers and others-this extraordinary work inspired the socially conscious fiction of Charles Dickens in the 19th century as well as the urban fantasy of Neil Gaiman in the late 20th. Volume I explores the lives of: the "wandering tribes" costermongers sellers of fish, fruits and vegetables sellers of books and stationery sellers of manufactured goods women and children on the streets and more. English journalist HENRY MAYHEW (1812-1887) was a founder and editor of the satirical magazine *Punch.*
