Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution in England through the window of a Northern mill-town. The author employs the lens of textile manufacturing to recount the social, economic, and technological changes that defined the era. The story begins in 1780, when the factories were first emerging, and continues through to 1850, a period marked by rapid industrialization and urbanization, and culminating in the Ten Hours Act, which limited the working day for women and young people to 10 hours. The author traces the evolution of the factory system, from its early stages of water-powered mills to the introduction of steam engines and the rise of the factory town. The book also delves into the lives of the workers, the harsh working conditions they endured, and the social problems and movements that emerged in response. The book concludes by reflecting on the legacy of the Industrial Revolution and discussing the ways in which it shaped the development of capitalism and the modern world.
