The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is a classic representation of
the impoverished and politically powerless underclass of British
society in Edwardian England, ruthlessly exploited by the
institutionalized corruption of their employers and the civic and
religious authorities. Epic in scale, the novel charts the ruinous
effects of the laissez-faire mercantilist ethics on the men, women,
and children of the working classes, and through its emblematic
characters, argues for a socialist politics as the only hope for a
civilized and humane life for all. This Wordsworth edition includes
an exclusive foreword by the late Tony Benn.
