Abstract
Although we now consider child labour to be inhuman and cruel, it was standard practice during the 18th century, especially when the Industrial Revolution (approximately 1760–1840) on the British island created an increased need for workers. Among numerous occupations for children, probably the most interesting and intriguing was chimney sweeping, which required children to enter chimneys and manually clean them. The need for protecting children’s rights was quickly recognized, but social and legislative changes were slowly introduced. This thesis examines the contribution of British engraver and poet William Blake (1757–1827) and British novelist Charles Kingsley (1819–1875) to the campaign against the exploitation of children in 18th and 19th-century Britain. It analyses and compares literary representations of the chimney sweeper in Blake’s two “Chimney Sweeper” poems (1789, 1794) and Kingsleyʼs novel The Water Babies (1863), and gives an overview of the status of chimney sweepers in Croatia.
Abstract (croatian)
Iako može zvučati nevjerojatno, djeca su do kraja 19. stoljeća imala obvezu financijski pridonositi svojoj obitelji jednako kao i odrasli članovi. Prilično je bizarno da nije postojala svijest o zaštiti djece i mladih kao neiskusnijih i osjetljivijih članova društva. Svijet se na začetku industrijske revolucije u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća nemilosrdno odupirao zakonodavnim promjenama i zaštiti dječjih prava jer su radnici bili prijeko potrebni, bez obzira na dob. Osim rada u industriji, postojali su i poslovi koji su bili namijenjeni djeci zbog prirode samoga posla, na primjer uskih prostora u rudnicima ili krhkih grana voćki koje je trebalo obrati. Poseban interes pobuđuju djeca dimnjačari koji su se morali zavlačiti u dimnjake i ručno ih čistiti kako bi se očuvala sigurnost od požara u prenapučenim gradovima. Djeca dimnjačari su istovremeno zanimljiv, ali i potresan fenomen karakterističan za Veliku Britaniju i još nekoliko europskih država poput Italije ili Belgije. Najčešće su bili siročad ili djeca (gotovo isključivo dječaci) koje bi roditelji prodali majstoru dimnjačaru u slučaju teške obiteljske situacije, na primjer, smrti jednoga od supružnika. Ovaj rad istražuje i kontekstualizira život djece dimnjačara, to jest, dimnjačarskih šegrta kroz 18. i 19. stoljeće na području Velike Britanije. Osim toga, u radu se pobliže razlaže i uspoređuje prikaz dimnjačarskih šegrta u djelima pjesnika Williama Blakea (dvije pjesme naslovljene “The Chimney Sweeper”; 1789 i 1794) i romanopisca Charlesa Kingsleya (roman The Water Babies, 1863). Posebna pozornost posvećena je pitanju njihova utjecaja na društvenu i svijest ondašnjih zakonodavaca te mogućeg doprinosa zakonskom ukidanju zanimanja djece dimnjačara.
