Excerpt from The Bread-Winners: A Social Study
The Bread-winners, the only novel my father ever attempted, was written in 1882. It was first published anonymously in The Century Magazine in 1883-1884, and aroused a good deal of curious comment as to its authorship. It was issued in book form by Harper Brothers in 1883, and went through several editions.
Although the work was generally attributed to my father, he never acknowledged it. This edition is the first which bears on its title-page the author's name.
Though the author was writing for another gen cration of readers, civilization has not changed so much in thirty-odd years that the conditions de scribed have lost their contemporary interest.
