Résumé
A brutal, poetic, and darkly funny deep dive into one of Britain's most infamous institutions. 70 pages of razor-sharp historical storytelling that pulls no punches. What was it like to be poor in Victorian Britain?Not "can't afford Netflix" poor - but grind-your-own-bones-into-fertiliser poor. Bread, Gruel, and Grim Determination takes you inside the walls of the 19th-century workhouse - a place where hunger was policy, families were split like firewood, and suffering was called salvation.
It's a short, gripping history of a system designed not to help the poor, but to punish them for existing. You'll meet the bureaucrats who weaponised morality, the women punished for childbirth, the children processed like laundry, and the rebels who dared to bite back. Told in a vivid, irreverent voice, this is social history with teeth - perfect for fans of Dark Histories, Empireland, or A People's History of Poverty."No myths.
No mercy. Just the truth - and a ladle of gruel."Approximate length: 70 pages. Part of the Dark History series.
