First published in 1972, Victorian Aspirations is the story of the
personal struggles and achievements of Charles and Mary Booth, as
remembered by their families and as revealed in private family
papers, especially in their letters to each other. Charles Booth
started his investigations into the social conditions of the
English lower classes at the critical moment in the history of
social reform. From this work, he produced Life and Labour of the
People in London, a comprehensive and instructive account of the
condition of the London poor. All seventeen volumes were carefully
revised and corrected by his wife Mary. This book reveals a
detailed and fascinating picture of the way of life of the late
Victorian intelligentsia and provides interesting glimpses of many
well-known figures of English public life who were relatives and
friends of the Booths, such as Macaulay and the Webbs. It will be
of particular interest to students of Victorian social history.
