Synopsis
A vivid memoir of a boy’s coming-of-age in a northern England mill town, and the dream that finally moves him toward education.

It paints a intimate portrait of family, community, and the choices that tilt a life from routine toward possibility, without losing the grit that shaped him.- A front-row view of shop floors, routines, and the social world of mill life

- Moments of mentorship, friendship, and a pivotal shift toward education

Présentation de l'éditeur
Note How many thousand pens are busy reporting and recording mill life! It is a splendid commentary on the fineness of our social conscience that there are so many champions on behalf of overworked boys and girls. Coming now, to take its place among the multitudes of investigations and faithful records of factory life, is this frank, absolutely real and dispassionate Autobiography written by a mill boy who has lived the experiences of this book. So far as can be found this is the first time that such an Autobiography has been printed in English. Since its appearance in the Outlook, the Autobiography has been entirely rewritten and new chapters have been added, so that the book will be practically new to any one who chanced to read the Outlook chapters.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a poignant autobiography of a mill boy who recounts his experiences of poverty and child labor in England at the cusp of the 20th Century. Written in 1911, this unfiltered account mirrors the stark reality of working-class life in the late Victorian era and the plight of families living on the breadline. The author provides vivid descriptions of the arduous conditions within the mill, juxtaposed with the colorful and heartwarming camaraderie of his fellow workers and neighbors, as they share a bond of resilience in the face of adversity. Delivered with the author's distinctive sharp wit and humor, the book offers a unique insight into British society of the time, highlighting the social injustices of the period while exploring the broader themes of class, poverty, and resilience. By turns both heart-wrenching and inspiring, the author's personal testimony stands as a valuable record of working-class life, offering us a powerful glimpse into a bygone era of hardship and social struggle. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
