The Elizabeth Gaskell Library
In which John Barton returns home burdened with the weight of the workers' plight and the bitter disappointment of their petition to Parliament, while his family listens with mingled sorrow and sympathy; and Job Legh recounts a heartrending tale of loss and kindness that lays bare the hardships faced by those cast adrift in the great city of London. Together, they find a measure of comfort in the solemn verses of Samuel Bamford, whose eloquent poetry pleads for the suffering poor whose silent woes the world too often neglects.
