Beschreibung
A shift ended at the factory gate, but its effects followed children into the home and classroom.
A factory bell could divide a child’s life into hours of work, fatigue, instruction, and rare play. This book explores how industrial employment drew young people into new systems of discipline and risk, and how campaigns for limits on labor emerged from conflict rather than simple consensus. It connects machinery, family income, schooling, law, and public debate to show why childhood became a major political question of the industrial era. The story keeps the focus on historical choices, not on sentiment alone.
