More about the book
Set against the backdrop of England's free-market economy, this collection of 24 short stories addresses pressing social and political issues such as overpopulation, labor disputes, and the struggles of the working class. Harriet Martineau's work, while deemed politically radical by some, resonated deeply with readers and significantly influenced later socially aware writers like Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell. The stories serve as a poignant commentary on the challenges of the time, blending fiction with social critique.
