Description

Explore a groundbreaking historical study examining the widespread use of child workers in late eighteenth-century textile manufacturing, with particular focus on the parish apprenticeship system that supplied pauper children to early industrial entrepreneurs. This book presents the first detailed examination of both the process and lived experience of parish factory apprenticeship, revealing children's vital role in industrial expansion whilst challenging conventional narratives of exploitation that dominate historical discourse. Routledge's authoritative text offers fresh insight into how poor law administration intersected with industrial development, making it essential reading for historians, economists, and students of labour history seeking to understand the human foundations of Britain's industrial revolution.
