Abstract
This paper aims to pay tribute to the courage of Frances Trollope in depicting the cruelty of industrial practices in the northern counties of England, particularly as they affected young children. It suggests that Charlotte Brontë’s ridicule of Michael Armstrong, amounting almost to contempt, sprang mainly from her lack of personal experience of the conditions of near slavery that dominated working-class life in Haworth and in the north generally.
