About this book

George Orwell documents poverty in Lancashire and Yorkshire after visiting areas affected by widespread unemployment. His account grows out of direct travel through the depressed industrial regions of northern England. This work of social reporting makes living conditions and economic hardship its subject, grounding its discussion in the communities he was commissioned to observe.
