Summary: "From Workhouse to Westminster: The Life Story of Will Crooks, M.P." by George Haw is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This biography chronicles the life of Will Crooks, a notable figure who rose from humble beginnings in a poor working-class family in East London to become a respected Labour Member of Parliament. The narrative centers on his struggles with poverty, the workhouse system, and his dedication to the working class, offering a look at the socioeconomic challenges of his time. The opening of the biography introduces Will Crooks's early life, detailing his family's hardships and his experiences growing up in a one-room home. Crooks's father, a ship's stoker, lost an arm in an accident, plunging the family into deeper poverty, while his mother worked tirelessly to support her seven children. These formative experiences, including witnessing the dire conditions at the workhouse and the influence of his mother, molded Crooks's character and instilled in him a strong sense of justice and advocacy for the poor. As a child, he begins to exhibit a spirited indignation against inequality, setting the stage for his future public service and commitment to improving the lives of working-class families like his own.
