A Voice From The Factories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162650883)

A Voice From The Factories is a non-fiction book written by Caroline Sheridan Norton, which sheds light on the harsh working conditions of factory workers during the Industrial Revolution in England. The book is a collection of letters, written by Norton, that were published in The Morning Chronicle in 1836. The letters describe the appalling conditions in which children, women, and men worked in factories, including long working hours, low wages, and dangerous working environments. Norton's writing is passionate and vivid, and she uses personal stories to illustrate the impact of these conditions on individual workers and their families. The book was a significant contribution to the growing movement for workers' rights in England, and it helped to raise public awareness of the need for reform. A Voice From The Factories remains a powerful and important account of a pivotal moment in the history of the labor movement.Have We Forgotten Our Own Infancy, That Joys So Simple Are To Them Denied?-- Our Boyhood's Hopes--our Wanderings Far And Free, Where Yellow Gorse-bush Left The Common Wide And Open To The Breeze?--the Active Pride Which Made Each Obstacle A Pleasure Seem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
