AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Sources suggest that for the film version, Haddon's play (set on the eve of the 1898 Spanish-American War) was reimagined as a Victorian industrial novel, with Katinka a factory girl and Lindsay the mill owner, and student Eric Hargreaves replaced as a suitor by labourer Joe Mercer.
