Położenie klasy robotniczej w Anglii

Wprowadzenie

Engels wrote the book in Barmen in the winter of 1844–45, drawing on some twenty-one months in Manchester, where he had worked for a cotton firm part-owned by his father, as well as on official reports and newspapers. It appeared in Leipzig in 1845, when he was 24. He describes the working-class districts of Manchester and other industrial towns, child labour, disease and the effects of competition, and predicts a revolution in England. An English translation followed only in 1887, in New York. The book counts among the early classics of empirical social research and urban sociology; historians still debate how representative its picture was.
