Rhymes And Recollections Of A Hand-Loom Weaver

By William Thom

Book Overview

Rhymes and Recollections of a Hand-Loom Weaver is a collection of poetry and personal recollections written by William Thom, a Scottish hand-loom weaver in the early 19th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part consists of Thom's poems, which are written in a traditional Scottish dialect and cover a range of topics, including nature, social injustice, and the struggles of working-class life. The second part of the book is a memoir in which Thom describes his life as a hand-loom weaver, including his experiences with poverty, illness, and the changing industrial landscape of Scotland. The book provides a valuable insight into the life and work of a hand-loom weaver during a time of significant social and economic change in Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
