Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the period surrounding the passing of the Ten Hours Act (1847) in Britain, a groundbreaking piece of workers' rights legislation which limited the hours that children worked in textile factories to ten hours a day. This Act was preceded by significant public debate in Britain, with many concerned about the health and moral development of children in the rapidly industrializing country. The author argues that this Act was not just a product of changing economic and social circumstances but also a measure of profound moral significance. Through a detailed analysis of the debates and the views of key figures of the time, this book places the Ten Hours Act within the broader landscape of 19th-century British history and ideas about individual liberty, the responsibilities of the state, and human rights.
