Description

Explore the complex history of the early industrial labor force with this detailed study from Routledge. Focusing on the period between 1780 and 1820, this book examines the widespread use of child workers in textile manufacturing. It provides a deep look into the parish apprenticeship trade, where pauper children moved from the oversight of poor law officials to the employment of early industrial textile entrepreneurs. This academic work is the first to provide an in-depth examination of both the process and the personal experiences of parish factory apprenticeship. By looking at the role children played in early industrial expansion, the text offers new perspectives that challenge common historical discussions regarding exploitation. This is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the economic and social shifts of the English Industrial Revolution.
