Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier goes into this, among other things, in the context of 1930s England.

That reminds me of the grim lodging houses described in Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier.

George Orwell explored this one in his Road to Wigan Pier, ch 6.

I'm now reading a bunch of Orwell's more journalistic work, just finished The Road to Wigan Pier.

I believe The Road To Wigan Pier must be quite similar although it will most likely focus on British poverty.

If you haven't read it Road to Wigan pier is a great work by Orwell on the status of the British poor post war.

The road to Wigan Pier (1937) would be a humourless response.

In Road to Wigan Pier - to the decry of mainstream Marxists - he noted that blind opposition to landlords is nuanced in working class coal mining communities.

The controversial second half of The Road to Wigan Pier contains a section where it seems Orwell regards individual fascists almost as mislead socialists and is strikingly sympathetic to them.

This extended well into the early twentieth century - you might want to check out the first part of Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier for ordinary life in the late stages of an economic transition.

They don't really explain, for example, why he voluntarily lived as a homeless person before writing Down and Out in Paris and London, or his feelings about the plight of working people that motivated the writing of The Road to Wigan Pier.

> In The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), he wrote: For five years I had been part of an oppressive system, and it had left me with a bad conscience.

You're most likely familiar with Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" and "The Road to Wigan Pier", two of the finest books ever written.

If you're genuinely curious, I'd highly recommend the book "The Road to Wigan Pier" to get an understanding of working class life was like in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His time in the colonial Burmese Police led him to say, in The Road to Wigan Pier, that "I hated the imperialism I was serving with a bitterness which I probably cannot make clear".

(Feudal, mercantile, and democratic) I would suggest reading the second half of "road to wigan pier" which will both provide history and an excellent critique of this style of thinking.

In ‘Wigan’ (as shown on the map) you’ve got the Oldham/Bolton accents (book - bewk; first - fussed) which are similar but as distinct as Brummie/Black Country.
