The Industrial Revolution and British Society

The Industrial Revolution and British Society is an original and wide-ranging textbook survey of the principal economic and social aspects of the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The distinguished international team of contributors each focus on topics currently at the very center of scholarly interest and draw together the very latest research in an accessible and stimulating manner: the intention throughout is to introduce a broad student readership to important but less familiar aspects and consequences of the first Industrial Revolution.
