Product Description
Synopsis
An autobiography set in the Potteries during the 1830s and 1840s. Published originally in 1903 under the anonym "An Old Potter", the book was used extensively and without acknowledgement by Arnold Bennett for his novel "Clayhanger". Shaw gives both an account of his own childhood experiences and a description of contemporary social life, including education, child and adult work life, strikes and the emergence of unions, workhouse conditions, the Plug riots of 1842, leisure, politics and religion.
