First published in 1882, All Sorts and Conditions of Men chronicles
daily life in the East-end district of Whitechapel road, where
people go about their business with an air of quiet resignation.
The arrival of Miss Kennedy, who wants to establish a dressmakers'
co-operative, causes great excitement, especially when it
transpires she is a friend of Angela Messenger, heiress to a local
brewing fortune. Meanwhile, Harry Goslet learns his is not an
aristocrat but the son of a lowly army sergeant. Determined to
return to his true roots, he moves to the East End, where he ends
up in the same boarding house as Miss Kennedy. The two discover a
mutual interest in social reform, imagining a People's Palace of
delight where the working classes can enjoy recreational activities
as a reward for their labours. Nothing is quite what it seems in
this magical microcosm, and soon their dreams are realised in the
shape of a shimmering edifice that transforms the local community.
This edition includes: a critical introduction, explanatory
footnotes, suggestions for further reading, and extensive
