Three talks by Peter Laslett
Lecturer in History in the University of Cambridge
1: English Society in 1901 This first talk deals with the problem of poverty among working-class people in the year of Queen Victoria's death and the paradox of poverty in the most industrial society of the world as it then was. In this respect, above all, English 20th-century experience has been unique and possibly prophetic. : second broadcast The Solid Middle Class: March 25
