Publisher Description This classic work in the literature of poverty was published in 1890 by William Booth (1829-1912), the founder of the Salvation Army. It was in fact mostly written by the crusading journalist W. T. Stead (referred to as an anonymous friend of the poor in Booths preface), but the practical ideas for relieving the poverty and squalor of late Victorian British cities are all Booths own. Reworking the cliche of Darkest Africa, in the first part he describes the submerged tenth of Darkest England - destitute and/or criminal - and goes on to suggest the way to Deliverance, which includes better housing, education and training for work, and the sending of the urban poor to colonies, both overseas and in the British countryside. These proposals had their critics, but drew wide attention to an appalling aspect of urban life of which the prosperous classes were barely aware.
