The Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong, the Factory Boy


Gelesen von Celine Major

(4.8 stars; 14 reviews)

The industrial revolution led to the rise of manufacture and, thus, the cotton mill factories. This important novel tells about the plight of Michael Armstrong, one of the boys who is forced to work there. The aim of the novel was to expose the public to the conditions of thousands of "infant labourers" around the northern mill towns. The novel drew much criticism, of course. Yet, nonetheless, it is a forgotten masterpiece, perfect for fans of Oliver Twist and North and South. It is a brave novel, full of truth and honesty, yet probably not for the faint of heart. - Summary by Stav Nisser. (18 hr 55 min)

touching if somewhat overdramatized political parable written in a florid and convoluted manner of the 18th century but very well-read and quite entertaining and enlightening.
