1: Spentown People
Broadcast in Story Time on June
14. 1968
The ' angry men ' of the title are the Chartists, the group of agitators who sprang up in England around 1838. driven by the terrible conditions under which the ordinary people of the country lived and worked. The Reform Bill of 1832 had only enfranchised the middle classes, and the People's Charter demanded the same rights for all.
The story is set in Spentown. an imaginary wool town in industrial Yorkshire. It is seen through the eyes of David Clegg , a young minister whose sympathy has been deeply roused by the death of a child of twelve from overwork in a mill. In some ways it is a sombre story, but it is given colour and warmth by the close bonds uniting the Spentown people.
