| + | ''The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists'' is one of the most significant novels to have appeared this century. It was the first novel to reveal the true reality of the subjection and destitution of working class life in 'the good old days' of the Edwardian age - an age when everybody knew his place and because of it was supposed to be content. It is a masterpiece of its kinds, a passionate, bitter journey through hell: 'a real hell inhabited by real people, a hell made by one's fellow men'. | ||
