Description
First published in 1987, this book examines Samuel Smiles ideals of work and self-help against the background of the Victorian work ethic. Drawing on `sub-literature such as pamphlets, periodicals, novels, works by Dissenting and Anglican ministers, popular `success and `self-improvement books, and general literature on the condition of the working classes, it presents a broad range of public opinion and attitudes towards work and in doing so, creates an essential framework and context for Smiles popular books.
