Thread Name: Origins: The Four Loom weavers
Subject: RE: Origins: Hand-Loom Weaver's Lament
BTW, back in 2001 in this thread Matthew Edwards mentioned that the "Four Loom Weaver" is mentioned in Elizabeth Gaskell's excellent book "Mary Barton", and Malcolm Douglas replied mentioning trying to get a copy of it. Presumably by now he has done so, but for anyone else wishing to read it, all Gaskell's, the Brontës', Austen's, etc works are all at the rather cleverly-titled site Girlebooks ...
