Description
This collection of essays explores the links between Richard Oastler's campaign against child labour in Yorkshire and the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. Contributions from leading historians examine the distinctively Yorkshire context of both movements, shedding new light on Oastler's role in their success.
The book reveals how Oastler's associations with evangelical Anglicanism and Nonconformity stimulated his involvement in the ten-hour factory movement, and how local grass-roots organisation, regional press, and powerful oratory helped secure a successful outcome to the campaign.
