SUMMARY:Living in the slums: the Victorian Working Class
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the ‘Working Class’ in the nineteenth century an image of abject poverty, slums and exploitative employers springs to mind. Television programmes and history books often portray the same image. But was this really the case ?\nWho were the working class in the nineteenth century and why are historians now starting to talk of an ‘Upper’ and ‘Lower’ Working Class ?\nDid they all live in poverty, and were poorly educated and illiterate or was something else more the truth ? Were ‘Mill Owners’ all exploitative and were working conditions terrible for everyone who worked in industry ?\nFind out more in this talk as Industrial Historian, Richard Marks, reveals the truth about the Victorian Working Class.\nTo join this meeting you will need a computer device which has a microphone and speakers. Ideally, also a webcam.  You also need to be able to access e-mails from this device. First time users will be asked to download a small piece of software to join the meeting.
