- Based on several years' research in archives and libraries in United Kingdom, the source base used for the monograph is 600 working-class autobiographies including 200 written by women. The analysis includes a significant number of autobiographies that have not previously been used by historians. On the basis of this extensive primary research and supported by the British Academy, the monograph develops an original argument about living standards in Victorian Britain, gender roles within the family and the challenges of poverty at a time of economic growth.
