1ST EDITION, green cloth, issued without dust jacket, published by Oxford University Press, NY, 2003. Includes chapters on Machines and Management; Childhood and Domesticity; Limbs and Lives; The Humanity of the Handmade; Manual Labor and National Independence. The author states in the Preface: "The texts on factory production collected in this volume are intended for use by undergraduate and graduate students studying the literature and history of Victorian Britain. The first factories are the subject of these works and for this reason the works may also be valuable to students of industrial development, of the history of economics, of urbanization, of women's work, and of the history of childhood, to name just a few of the topics and issues that intersect with industrialization and the factory in its most obvious material effect. The factory system is central to any conception of modernity; the documents collected here suggest how unsystematic that system was in its origins and early development."
