Frederich Engels (1820-1895) was a German businessman and political theorist renowned as one of the intellectual founders of communism. In 1842 Engels was sent to Manchester to oversee his father's textile business, and he lived in the city until 1844. This volume, first published in German in 1845, contains his classic and highly influential account of working-class life in Manchester at the height of its industrial supremacy. Engels' highly detailed descriptions of urban conditions and contrasts between the different classes in Manchester were informed from both his own observations and his contacts with local labour activists and Chartists. Extensively researched and written with sympathy for the working class, this volume is one Engels' best known works and remains a vivid portrait of contemporary urban England. This volume is reissued from the English edition of 1892, which was translated by noted social activist Florence Kelley Wischnewetzky (1859-1932).… (meer)

In 1845, the Condition of the Working Class in England presented the socialist solution as the necessary outcome of the British situation -- on the grounds that a revolution was preparing which would bring the Chartists to power and thus precipitate a social transformation. In 1847 Engels still thought Britain would lead the way, with Germany far in the rear, and the backward agrarian countries waiting to be transformed by the example of the more advanced. Engels could be viewed as a distant precursor of Fabian socialism, were it not for his skepticism about the likelihood of a peaceful transition, and his dislike of the pre-1848 ‘socialists’ who (unlike the ‘communists’) urged measures falling short of the abolition of private property in the means of production. In the 1840s socialism was commonly regarded as a philanthropic middle-class movement; hence the preference shown by Marx and Engels for the term ‘communism’. [1961]

Want to read this because Jeannette Winterson recommends it in "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?" According to her, it's "a frightening, upsetting account of the effects of the Industrial Revolution on ordinary people -- what happens when people 'regard each other only as useful objects.'"

This should have been my first economics book. Alas...much later in life.... ( )

Gripping descriptions of working class conditions. Strong in utilizing statistics for population and production arguments about causation of same. Wasn't expecting a name drop of Faraday, that was a surprise. Also really interesting details on technology and its repercussions. Vivid sections on how the working conditions affected mental and physical health.

Long, dreary stretches going over the differences between Chartists and Socialists and their respective aims, though this might have been important for the intended German audience. Here's where the Penguin Classics edition could have helped the reader by supplying some background.

Exhuberant, youthful writing, that occasionally could have stood being reined in. His opinions on the Irish are unenlightened and cringe worthy. ( )

The history of the proletariat in England begins with the second half of the last century, with the invention of the steam-engine and of machinery for working cotton.

(from the Introduction)
The order of our investigation of the different sections of the proletariat follows naturally from the forgoing history of its rise.

(from chapter one, "The Industrial Proletariat")
