This vintage hardcover edition of “Poverty” by Robert Hunter offers a compelling glimpse into the social and economic conditions of early 20th century Britain. Hunter, a pioneering sociologist and social reformer, drew upon his firsthand experiences working with the poor in London’s East End to craft a searing indictment of the systemic issues perpetuating the cycle of poverty. Published in 1904, this groundbreaking work predated and influenced many of the social welfare policies implemented in the following decades. With its unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by the urban working class, “Poverty” remains a seminal text in the study of social inequality and a powerful call to action. This well-preserved copy, despite its exterior wear, provides collectors and readers with a rare opportunity to explore a landmark work that shaped the discourse on poverty and social justice.
