Summary "Alton Locke, Tailor and Poet: An Autobiography" by Charles Kingsley is a novel that incorporates elements of autobiography, likely written during the mid-19th century. This work presents the story of Alton Locke, a tailor and aspiring poet, as he navigates the complexities of British society, focusing on the struggles of the working class against the backdrop of social reform and labor movements. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Alton Locke's formative years, touching on his childhood experiences and upbringing. Kingsley uses Alton as a vehicle to explore the social injustices faced by the working class, particularly in the tailoring trade. The narrative hints at Alton's internal conflicts, as he aspires to be a poet while grappling with the harsh realities of his social standing. Themes of artistic ambition, class struggle, and social reform emerge early on, setting the stage for Locke's journey as he seeks his place and voice in a changing society.
