✦ Synopsis

Over one hundred poets of labouring class origin were published in Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some were hugely popular and important in their day but few are available today. This is a collection of some of those poems from the eighteenth century. The revival of this should will help to serve as a contribution to broader historical and cultural research on the labouring classes in England. Poets featured include John Bancks, john Bennet, Elizabeth Bentley, Mary Collier, Henry Jones, Joseph Lewis, Mary Masters, Gerald Massey, Robert Tatersal, William Vernon, Edward Ward, James Eyre Weeks and Ann Yearsley.
