Nineteenth-Century English Labouring-Class Poets Vol 3 cover

This collection features poems from over 100 labouring-class poets in 19th-century Britain, reviving their essential contributions to literature.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Britain saw the emergence of over 100 poets hailing from the labouring class. These poets contributed significantly to the literary landscape of their time, with some achieving remarkable popularity and influence. However, despite their impact, many of these works have faded into obscurity, leaving a gap in the understanding of the era's poetic expression.

Nineteenth-Century English Labouring-Class Poets Vol 3 seeks to bridge this gap by curating a selection of poems from this underrepresented group. This collection highlights the voices of those who toiled in various trades, offering readers a glimpse into their experiences, struggles, and aspirations. The poems reflect the social, political, and economic challenges faced by the labouring class, providing a unique perspective on life during the 19th century.

By bringing these poems back into the limelight, Nineteenth-Century English Labouring-Class Poets Vol 3 not only preserves the legacy of these poets but also enriches our understanding of the diversity of literary voices in history. Readers will discover the beauty and depth of emotions expressed by these poets, whose works deserve recognition and appreciation in the broader context of English literature.
