Summary
A study which combines personal reminiscences with careful historical research, the myth of the ‘good old days’ is summarily dispensed with. Robert Roberts describes the period of his childhood, when the main effect of poverty in Edwardian Salford was degradation, and, despite great resources of human courage, few could escape such a prison.
