About this book
Coal, factories and a railway have transformed Crossbourne from a quiet village into a busy industrial town. Against that changing landscape, Theodore P. Wilson introduces William Foster, a skilled ironworker whose drinking disrupts his work and household. Foster chairs the local Free-thought Club, where arguments about science, politics and religion accompany evenings of beer and spirits. The opening sets material ambition beside damaged furniture and domestic discomfort.
Christian faith and temperance give this novel its direction. In a later scene, Clara Maltby confides in Thomas Bradly about the strain of her studies and her growing reliance on drink. Her reflections link learning with responsibilities at home and in teaching.
