'It is only when you meet someone of a different culture from
yourself that you begin to realize what your own beliefs really
are.' The Road to Wigan Pier is George Orwell's 1937 study of
poverty and working-class life in northern England. It is the book
which established Orwell as among Britain's foremost political and
social commentators. It is, moreover, essential for any reader who
wishes to gain a deeper understanding of Orwell's life, work and
legacy. This non-fiction work set the tone for Orwell's subsequent
career, by focusing on class relations within Britain and political
solutions to social problems. The Road to Wigan Pier has remained
widely read since his death, running to several editions, and
providing a point of comparison for later social and political
commentaries
