Here [in Old Town Manchester) one is in an almost undisguised working- men's quarter, for even the shops and beer houses hardly take the trouble to exhibit a trifling degree of cleanliness. This arises chiefly from the fact that by unconscious tacit determination, the working people's quarters are sharply separated from the sections of the city reserved for the middle class. The town itself is peculiarly built, so that a person may live in it for years, and go in and out daily without coming into contact with a working people's quarter or even with workers, that is, so long as he confines himself to his business or to his pleasure walks. How does Engels describe working-class life in Manchester in the early 1840s? If you use any direct quotes and/or rewrite (paraphrase) any of the information from the reading you are to cite it as follows:įriedrich Engels The Condition of the Working Class in England 1844 Manchester contains about four hundred thousand inhabitants.
