| Description | "In 1792 as revolution, riot and sedition spread across Europe, Robert Blincoe was born in the calm of rural St. Pancras parish. At four he was abandoned to a workhouse, never to see his family again. At seven, he was sent 200 miles north to work in one of the cotton mills of the dawning industrial age. He suffered years of unrelenting abuse, a life dictated by the inhuman rhythm of machines." "Like Dickens' most famous character, Blincoe remained unbroken by his years of adversity. He fought back against the mill owners, earning beatings but gaining self respect. He joined the campaign to protect children, gave evidence to a Royal Commission into factory conditions and worked with extraordinary tenacity to keep his own children from the factories. His life was immortalised in one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, A Memoir of Robert Blincoe."--BOOK JACKET. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | John Waller | | Format | Dimensions 16.4x24.0x4.2 cm
