From a childhood of poverty, yet joy and freedom, to the punishing grind of factory life and the idiocy of being sent blindly into war, Caliban Shrieks' narrator takes readers on a lyrical tour of life as a young man born into the first days of the 20th century. Lost to time, only to be rediscovered again in the Salford's Working Class Movement Library in 2022, 'Caliban Shrieks' is a working-class masterpiece of British literature, and continues to speak as brash and impassioned as it did on its first rave publication in 1935.
