The Great Unwashed is a novel written by Thomas Wright and published in 1868. The book is a social commentary on the working-class people of London during the mid-19th century. The title of the book refers to the derogatory term used for the lower classes during that time. The story revolves around the lives of a group of working-class individuals who struggle to make ends meet. The protagonist, Jack Connor, is a hard-working laborer who dreams of a better life for himself and his family. He is married to Mary, a devoted wife and mother who works as a seamstress to contribute to their income. The novel explores the harsh realities of poverty, unemployment, and social inequality during the Victorian era. It depicts the struggles of the working-class people who were often exploited and mistreated by the upper classes. The characters in the book are portrayed as complex individuals with their own hopes, dreams, and flaws. The Great Unwashed is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on the social issues of its time. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the working-class people who fought for a better future for themselves and their families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
