About the Book

In the early 1970s, the author spoke to 500 Edwardians who had been born between 1872–1906: domestics, labor-ers, skilled and semi-skilled workers, professionals and socialites from all parts of Britain describe their work, their leisure, their political attitudes and their environments at a time of critical social change.
