Who Were The Real Oliver Twists? Childhood Poverty in Victorian London【電子書籍】[ Lynn Hamilton ]

＜p＞Charles Dickens’ ＜em＞Oliver Twist＜/em＞ exposed a brutal but commonplace system of child exploitation to Victorian readers. Conditions in workhouses, factories, and child criminal gangs posed lethal and daily hazards to children born to poverty. Several much-needed reforms took place in the aftermath of ＜em＞Oliver Twist＜/em＞’s publication. But what were the circumstances of childhood poverty in Victorian London and other English cities? And who were the real Oliver Twists?＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores how nineteenth century laws and social institutions entirely failed to protect children born to poor and unstable families. Despite a horrible labyrinth of ten-hour workdays, illegal indentures, and forced emigration, however, many children overcame terrible prospects and thrived. Some of these remarkable stories of childhood resilience, innovation, and enterprise have been lost to the general reader. This book brings those stories back to light.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
