This is a reprint of a classic study which describes in a readable and graphic fashion the severe social problems of the Victorian era and the response, in particular, of the provincial middle classes to the turbulent society about them. The book is an exceptionally interesting introduction to the history of voluntary services in this country and to the origins of modern ideas of social welfare and responsibility.
