Beschreibung
The industrial night was not simply longer work; it was a new argument about whose time could be claimed.
Factories made night labor more visible, but they did not invent it. This account places industrial shifts alongside older forms of nocturnal work in ports, homes, streets, workshops, and institutions. It examines the struggle over time discipline, safety, family life, and rest as new technologies extended the working day. Readers see how the night became a contested part of modern economic life.
