In Darkest England, and the Way Out by William Booth
"In Darkest England, and the Way Out" by William Booth is a social reform proposal published in 1890. The founder of the Salvation Army presents a bold vision to address Victorian England's poverty crisis, comparing conditions in industrialized London to "Darkest Africa." Booth outlines practical solutions including work colonies, training centers, and aid programs designed to provide food, shelter, and employment for the destitute. His plan combines Christian principles with social action,
aiming to transform both material circumstances and spiritual lives while challenging the state to meet its obligations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
