Description
Excerpt from The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
With grim humour and pitiless realism the working man has revealed the lives and hearts of his mates, their opinion of their betters, their political views, their attitude towards Socialism. Through the busy din of the hammer and the scraping knife, the clang of the pail, the swish of the white wash, the yell of the foreman, comes the talk of the men, their yokes and curses, their hopes and terrors, the whimpering of their old people, the cry of their children.
