"Tressell: The Real Story of 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' describes the author's life, puts the book in its historical context and traces its success over the past ninety-odd years. It shows that The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is about socialist values and their continued relevance at a time when we are being told that capitalism is here for ever; that greed is good; that war, famine, poverty, racism and oppression are natural, normal and permanent features of life on Planet Earth. Crucially, Tressell's passionate, compassionate denunciation of the capitalist 'system' is about hope, so little wonder The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is selling very well indeed in these anti-capitalist days."--BOOK JACKET.

Raymond Williams’s work was always concerned with the relation between culture and society. This book focuses on specific texts and authors, exploring the historical and cultural sources of their particular forms of writing. In it, Williams examines dramatic form and language in Racine and Shakespeare; the politics of fiction in the English Jacobin novel; David Hume and Charles Dickens and the changing characteristics of English prose; Robert Tressell, The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, and the role of region and class in the English novel. Also included are Williams’s reflections on the rise of English studies, on their crisis as the literary traditions of Cambridge University were beset by the ‘structuralist controversy’, and on the wider implications of this redefinition of the critical field.

This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by Robert Tressell, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists: Easton was still reading the Obscurer; he was not about to understand exactly what the compiler of the figures was driving at--probably the latter never intended that anyone should understand--but he was conscious of a growing feeling of indignation and hatred against foreigners of every description, who were ruining this country, and he began to think that it was about time we did something to protect ourselves. ...Well, I dont go in for politics much, either, but if whats in this ere paper is true, it seems to me as we oughter take some interest in it, when the country is being ruined by foreigners. ...The only difference between Free Trade and Protection is that under certain circumstances one might be a little worse that the other, but as remedies for Poverty, neither of them are of any real use whatever, for the simple reason that they do not deal with the real causes of Poverty. ...Wot I mean, said Slyme, is that no man oughtnt to marry till hes saved up enough so as to ave some money in the bank; an another thing, I reckon a man oughtnt to get married till es got an ouse of is own. ...Well, we all know pretty well wot Free Trade and Protection means, but most of us dont know exactly what Socialism means; and I say as its the dooty of every man to try and find out which is the right thing to vote for, and when es found it out, to do wot e can to elp to bring it about.

This classic piece of working-class literature is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. With grim humour and pitiless realism Tressell reveals the lives and harts of his mates, their opinions of their betters, their political views, and their attitude toward Socialism. Edited by Jessie Pope, who was handed the manuscript by a friend and the daughter of Tressell after her father s death, this book is a fascinating read for any social historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork."
