  • Product Description

    The poor laws and workhouses of the nineteenth-century have had a lasting resonance in literature and art, from Dickens? Oliver Twist to Hardy?s Far from the Madding Crowd; from James Greenwood?s lurid account of A Night in a Workhouse to Jack London?s The People of the Abyss and George Orwell?s The Spike. Fanny Trollope?s Jessie Phillips ranks alongside such works.

    Best known for her scathing reflections on American society in Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), in Jessie Phillips we see the novelist turn her hand to the injustice and cruelty that was so prevalent on English soil. Trollope, a contemporary of Jane Austen and the Mitfords, was very much aware of the hierarchical divisions within her society, and the story of Jessie Phillips is a wonderfully engaging account of the struggles and hard-won triumphs of a life lived upon the wrong side of the divide.
