Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Waugh recounts in tragic detail the poverty and exploitation suffered by those ‘Lancashire Folk’ affected by the little reported Cotton Famine of the 1860s. Civil war in America cut off the supply of cotton and with much of Lancashire (which then included Manchester) dependant on the cotton trade, the closure of cotton mills was inevitable. Edwin Waugh’s narrative is accompanied by speeches, letters and ‘songs of distress’ written during the famine. The works are reprinted as they appeared in the columns of the Manchester Examiner and Times in 1862. Dyslexia-friendly font
