"Gatherings From the Pit-Heaps, Or, the Allens of Shiney-Row," by Coleman Collier (James Everett), offers a glimpse into 19th-century working-class life in a mining community. This evocative narrative explores the social and spiritual challenges faced by families dependent on the coal industry. Through the story of the Allens, the novel delves into themes of poverty, resilience, and the importance of faith in the face of hardship.
Everett's work provides a valuable historical record of the era, depicting the realities of daily existence in industrial England. The novel appeals to readers interested in social reform, religious life, and the experiences of ordinary people during a transformative period in history. With its compelling characters and authentic settings, "Gatherings From the Pit-Heaps" remains a significant contribution to the literature of its time.
