The Road to Wigan Pier
|
|
(1937) First-hand account by George *Orwell of conditions in northern England during the *Depression. He sets out, imitating *Cobbett and his Rural Rides, to test his socialist ideals and his south-of-England preconceptions against the realities of industrial life. He reports from several other areas (particularly Sheffield) as well as Wigan.
