The industrial revolution, 1760-1830

About this book

"Lucidly argued and authoritative, this classic account places the phenomenon of the industrial revolution in a stimulating perspective and raises major themes which have been the subject of research and enquiry ever since." "A new Preface by Professor Pat Hudson places Ashton's work in its historiographical context and discusses the extent to which his conclusions have been endorsed or challenged by more recent writing."--Jacket.
