Book Synopsis
The Voice of Toil collects poems, stories, essays, and a play that reflect ways in which work, one of the most recurrent and controversial subjects of nineteenth–century discourse, was addressed. The resulting anthology offers a provocative text for students of nineteenth-century British literature and history.

Trade Review
“Useful to students and scholars alike—and to general readers—this book uses literature to address the respectability of honest toil, the exploitation of the working class, child labor, and 19th–century work that was all too often oppressive and spiritually enervating.”
“Bradshaw and Ozment’s anthology displays the vast conversation occurring and the breadth of the literature included about work in the nineteenth century.” * English Literature in Transition 1880–1820 *
