The People's Journal, `A Penny Saturday paper devoted to the
interests of the Working Classes', was one of the most successful
and culturally influential publications in Victorian Scotland. From
the beginning, the Journal set out to represent ordinary men and
women, providing a platform for their opinions and experiences,
publishing readers' letters, stories, and especially their poetry.
Collected here are more than one hundred examples of these poems -
comical, sentimental, political and polemical - on a dizzy variety
of subjects, from domestic pleasures and local events to national
questions and foreign affairs. These works, written by tradesmen
and women, factory workers, servants, and others, are both deeply
fascinating and highly entertaining. Their voices are part of a
literary heritage that deserves recovery, and their concerns and
interests often chime, more than we might expect, with issues still
very much current in the modern day.
