In his youth he wrote pastoral poems but by the early 1830s he had begun to infuse poltiics into his work "by denouncing the 'bread tax' the exploitation of child and adult labour and the low wages of the working classes and by advocating free trade. In 1830 Elliott helped to found the short-lived Sheffield Mechanics Anti-Bread Tax Society and formed the Sheffield Anti-Corn Law Society in 1834.it was his protest verse favourably reviewed by Thomas Carlyle Bulwer-Lytton the Howitts W. J. Fox and Geraldine Jewsbury which bolstered his reputation as poet of the poor even after he had accumulated substantial wealth" DNB. This volume collects both his early worth and his Corn-Law Rhymes. William Tait paperback books
