Its working-class author, Walter Greenwood, went overnight from being unemployed in Salford to being a best-selling writer. This is a book-length study of this important work. It explores in detail what made the novel so influential among thirties and forties readers, analyses the considerable differences between the novel, play and film versions and puts the public response to 'Love on the Dole' back into its full historical context.
