In 1849, the Morning Chronicle, a leading Victorian newspaper,
embarked on a social investigation of working class life in England
and Wales. Set in the immediate context of concern over Chartism
and the cholera epidemic, its intention was to provide a full and
detailed description of the moral, intellectual, material and
physical condition of the industrial poor. First published in 1973,
this book reflects through the survey the highly complex nature of
nineteenth-century social structure throughout England and South
Wales, covering descriptions of contrasting political orientations,
work and leisure patterns, sex and family, education and religion.
In doing so, it provides a classic introduction to the social
structures of the working class during the nineteenth century. This
book will be of interest to those studying Victorian history and
sociology.
