Robert Blincoe (c.1792-1860) was orphaned at a young age and by 1796 was living in the St Pancras workhouse in London. Aged six he was sent to work as a chimney sweep's assistant but was soon returned to the workhouse. A year later he was sold to work in a cotton mill near Nottingham, tasked with picking up loose cotton waste from the cotton frames whilst the machines were operating, a dangerous occupation which resulted in the loss of half a finger. Conditions were extremely bad with long working hours, poor food and frequent beatings. When the mill closed in 1802 he was sent to Litton Mill in Derbyshire where his treatment remained the same. By 1813 Blincoe had completed his effective apprenticeship in stock weaving and continued as an adult worker until 1817. He then left to found his own cotton-spinning business and married two years later. In 1822 journalist John Brown met Blincoe and interviewed him for an article on child labour. Brown decided to write Blincoe's biography and gave it to social activist Richard Carlisle who published it in five weekly instalments in his newspaper The Lion in early 1828. In 1832 it was published as a pamphlet which led the government to investigate the poor conditions in the mills. It has been claimed that Charles Dickens based his character Oliver Twist on Blincoe but there is no firm evidence to support this.

From a parish workhouse to the heart of the industrial revolution, from debtors' jail to Cambridge University and a prestigious London church, Robert Blincoe's political, personal and turbulent story illuminates the Dickensian age like never before. In 1792 as revolution, riot and sedition spread across Europe, Robert Blincoe was born in the calm of rural St Pancras parish. At four he was abandoned to a workhouse, never to see his family again. At seven, he was sent 200 miles north to work in one of the cotton mills of the dawning industrial age. He suffered years of unrelenting abuse, a life dictated by the inhuman rhythm of machines. Like Dickens' most famous character, Blincoe rebelled after years of servitude. He fought back against the mill owners, earning beatings but gaining self-respect. He joined the campaign to protect children, gave evidence to a Royal Commission into factory conditions and worked with extraordinary tenacity to keep his own children from the factories. His life was immortalised in one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, A Memoir of Robert Blincoe. Renowned popular historian John Waller tells the true story of a parish boy's progress with passion and in enthralling detail.

In writing this book, Elena Stevens' aim is to respond to calls for a more diverse, decolonised curriculum - calls which have become more insistent following the reinvigoration of the Black Lives Matter movement, the #MeToo movement and other landmark events. Highlighting the lived experiences of women, the working classes, and BAME and LGBTQ+ communities in particular, 40 Ways to Diversify the History Curriculum draws upon a wide range of personal stories to exemplify significant historical moments and shed new light on topics that have traditionally been taught through narrower lenses. The book serves as a resource bank for teachers wishing to enliven and diversify history lessons at Key Stages 2-3, GCSE, A level and beyond.Elena helpfully opens with a discussion of the theoretical/historiographical developments that lay behind calls to diversify the curriculum - and, to accompany each of the 40 historical case studies, she provides ideas and activities for translating the case studies into lesson plans and enquiries. Furthermore, Elena also guides teachers in shaping new enquiries from scratch.Suitable for teachers of secondary school and Key Stage 2 history.
