Description
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Sophie Rickard A powerful and thought-provoking graphic novel, this 2022 Eisner Award nominee brings to life the groundbreaking socialist novel of 1914. Robert Tressell's novel tells the story of a group of working men and their journey towards a fairer society, where work is performed to satisfy the needs of all, rather than to generate profit for a few. In this faithful adaptation, Scarlett and Sophie Rickard craft a compelling fiction that paints a comprehensive picture of social, political, economic, and cultural life in early 20th century Britain. Described as a piece of social history, this book is often cited as one of the most authentic novels of English working-class life ever written. A compelling and relevant portrayal of a bygone era, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists remains a timely and important work today.
