Description

Explore the complex philosophy of Samuel Smiles through this scholarly examination from the Routledge Library Editions: The Victorian World series. While many readers associate Smiles with his 1859 book Self Help as a guide for financial gain, this text provides a deeper look into his true intentions. Smiles actually advocated for the development of character over the simple pursuit of social or monetary success. First published in 1987, this book places Smiles' ideals within the broader context of the Victorian work ethic. It uses a wide range of sources, including pamphlets, periodicals, and novels, to build a complete picture of the era. By examining the writings of both Dissenting and Anglican ministers alongside popular literature, this work offers a detailed perspective on the social values of the time. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of social thought, Victorian culture, and the origins of self-help philosophy.
