In this episode, Tim and Andrew take a look at one of the Victorian period's most popular poets, LEL - Letitia Elizabeth Landon - and her poem, "The Factory". Bringing together moral outrage against child labour in a popular ballad form, LEL's poem comes from a time when poetry and literature in general was at the forefront of social change.
