Kathleen was left with nothing but a toasted manuscript and a dream of Canada. So she took it to her employer and asked her to try to get it published. Jessie Pope managed to get her £12 for it, so off Kathleen sailed to freedom 11/13

When The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was finished (which took years) no-one wanted to publish it. It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. Robert had TB and, reading between the lines, felt bitter and resentful about how his life had turned out. 7/13

Robert had the chance to go to university but wanted nothing to do with his hypocritical father or his money. He went to England and then South Africa working as a painter & decorator instead. There may have been some petty theft shenanigans on the way, but this is unproven 4/13

On this day 108 years ago - before both world wars, before universal suffrage, before insulin and penicillin - The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was published. The author, Robert Tressell, had recently died. This is the story of how it happened 1/13

@Thelma_DWalker The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists being replayed before our eyes

@GeorgeMonbiot As described in The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists as one of the main causes of poverty…

@MrBenSellers

Here are some of the women in The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, who are often overlooked by people who think of it as a book about ‘men at work’ #IWD2022

@Coho29415979 Is there anyone more exotic and intellectual than an Irish painter and decorator who wrote the first working class novel and died of TB before it was published?
French philosophers may have glamour, but Tressell gets the job done

Please be aware of how much trauma you are witnessing on here and on TikTok - footage of violence and live feeds of tragedy are everywhere.

Bearing witness is important, but be kind to your soul. It doesn’t help for you to take on so much pain that you become wounded too 😔
