AN ANALYSIS OF CHILDHOOD AND CHILD LABOUR IN CH...

The Industrial Revolution was a time of enormous change for the British society. Science and
technology developed rapidly and brought wealth and improvement into many sectors of life 
inventions like the steam engine  power looms  the spinning jenny or the expansion of the road
and rail network made life easier. But on the other hand it was also the time of great misery 
exploitation and tremendous class differences between a very thin and very wealthy upper-class
a rising middle-class and a very broad and to a great extent extremely impoverished
working-class. But how was it like being a working-class child in Victorian England? To answer
this question this work will take a close look at two of the most famous contemporary novels
dealing with the depiction of children: Charles Dickens David Copperfield and Oliver Twist .
