Description: This book explores the social and economic pressures facing the upper and middle classes of Victorian England. With the country on the cusp of massive technological and industrial advancements, and a shift in cultural and educational values, many young people were increasingly finding themselves without traditional career opportunities. The author discusses the phenomenon of these 'Will Wimbles', well-educated and ambitious young men who were unable to find their place in society. The book delves into the social and economic factors that created this problem and the potential solutions, arguing that these young people could find new opportunities by emigrating to places like the United States and other colonies where they could use their skills and education to build new lives. Overall, the book provides a fascinating insight into the changing social landscape of Victorian England and the challenges faced by a generation of young people trying to navigate a rapidly changing world.
