Abstract

The Condition of the Working Class in England, from Personal Observations and Authentic Sources is the early work of Friedrich Engels to explore a new world outlook. It is not only a key for later generations to understand the tragic situation of the British working class, but also a sign that Engels began to understand the historical mission and historical task of the proletariat from the perspective of historical materialism. In his book, The Condition of the Working Class in England, from Personal Observations and Authentic Sources, Engels drew an important conclusion that the proletariat must struggle, and then systematically expound the basic ideas of "why is it possible", "why is it necessary", "why is it established" and "how to realize" of the British working class movement, and profoundly reveal the economic roots, institutional causes and struggle of the working class movement through analyzing the close relationship between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. It deeply reveals the economic root, institutional reason, struggle consciousness and realistic way of the workers' movement, and points out the way for the complete liberation of the working class.
