The poor laws and workhouses of the 19th century have had a lasting resonance in literature and art. Best known for her scathing reflections on American society in "Domestic Manners of the Americans, " in "Jessie Phillips" we see the novelist turn her hand to the injustice and cruelty that was so prevalent on English soil. Trollope, a contemporary of Jane Austen and the Mitfords, was very much aware of the hierarchical divisions within her society, and the story of Jessie Phillips is a wonderfully engaging account of the struggles and hard-won triumphs of a life lived upon the wrong side of the divide.
