My Apprenticeship Vol. I.

The first volume of this work delves into Victorian society through the eyes of Beatrice Potter Webb, who was profoundly influenced by her upbringing in a business-oriented family. Following personal tragedies, she moved to London, where she collaborated with her cousin on social research and met her future husband, Sidney James Webb. Together, they produced significant scholarly contributions that shaped sociology, exploring themes like factory conditions and Britain's economic history. This edition includes a new introductory biography, enhancing the context of Webb's impactful life and work.
