Speaking of Work, Blake, Dickens, Trollope & The Factory Act
On this day in 1833, the Mills and Factory Act was passed in England,
one of a series of measures to improve the "Health and Morals" of
child laborers. The Act allowed a forty-eight-hour work week for
children aged nine to twelve, but it brought many changes which the
younger Dickens and William Blake's even younger "Chimney Sweeper"
would have welcomed.
