Beschreibung

"Jemmy Stubbins, or the Nailer Boy" is an engaging narrative steeped in the social realism of the 19th century, capturing the life of a young boy navigating the harsh realities of child labor in a nail-making factory. The book employs a vivid, yet accessible literary style that juxtaposes the starkness of Jemmy's daily struggles with moments of hope and camaraderie among working-class children. Set against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, the narrative reflects the era's profound socio-economic changes and the emerging discourse on workers' rights, poignantly illustrating the trials of the underprivileged in a rapidly industrializing society. The work is authored by a collective of writers, whose backgrounds as social reformers and advocates for child labor laws inform the poignant themes of the text. Their firsthand experiences and observations of impoverished communities in urban England inspire a narrative that is both a social critique and a heartfelt tale of resilience. By incorporating the voices of those who lived these experiences, the authors create a narrative that serves as an important historical document, as well as a powerful storytelling vehicle. "Jemmy Stubbins, or the Nailer Boy" is a compelling read for those interested in social justice, history, and children's literature. It provides a window into the past while resonating with contemporary issues surrounding labor and exploitation. This book not only captures the imagination of young readers but also serves as a crucial reminder of the endurance of the human spirit against societal injustices.

Who took the "Little Nailer" of the father-land from his smithy, and sent him to School for two years I dedicate this little Book, as an offering of my affection, and as a souvenir of that loving act of benevolent sympathy.

Table of Contents

Before I left America in 1846, in order to gratify the wish that had long occupied my heart, of visiting the motherland, I formed for myself a plan of procedure to which I hoped to be able rigidly to adhere. I determined that my visit to England should bring me face to face with the people; that I should converse with the artizan in his workshop, and lifting the lowly door-latches of the poor, should become intimately acquainted with their life—with their manners, and it might be, with their hopes and sorrows.
