The Birth of Industrial Britain by Kenneth Morgan

The Industrial Revolution had a profound and lasting effect on socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Britain.

The Birth of Industrial Britain examines the impact of early industrialisation on British society in the century before 1850, coinciding with Britains transition from a late pre-industrial economy to one based on industrialisation and urbanisation.

This fully revised and updated second edition provides a comprehensive range of pedagogical material to support the text, including a Glossary of terms, people and parliamentary acts, new primary source documents and a brand new Chronology and Whos Who section. The Birth of Industrial Britain provides an essential up-to-date synthesis of the impact of the Industrial Revolution on British society for students at all levels.

Kenneth Morgan is Professor of History at Brunel and an authority on colonial history and slavery.  His latest book is Slavery, Atlantic Trade and the British Economy, 1660-1800for OUP (2008).
