Description

Ernest Poole's 1915 novel explores the tensions between labor and capital in early 20th-century America. Against the backdrop of a violent strike, an aspiring writer grapples with his own class allegiance and ultimately finds solace in socialism. As Billy navigates the complexities of the New York waterfront, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of exploitation and injustice. Poole's powerful portrayal of class warfare offers a valuable insight into the social history of the time. This novel remains a thought-provoking testament to Poole's literary talent, offering a direct and unflinching examination of the struggles faced by workers in the early 20th century.
