Life And Adventures Of Michael Armstrong, The Factory Boy

Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong, the Factory Boy

by Frances Milton Trollope

This Victorian novel, set amidst the burgeoning industrial landscape of England, chronicles the harsh realities of child labor in the cotton mill factories. Michael Armstrong, an orphan thrust into the unforgiving world of the factory system, endures grueling working conditions, exploitation, and moral corruption. The story offers a stark portrayal of the social injustices of the era, exposing the plight of the marginalized and challenging readers to confront the consequences of unchecked industrialization. Trollope's work, though bleak in its subject matter, possesses a powerful sense of moral outrage and a strong sense of realism, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read.
