Traditionally, the British "Industrial Revolution" has been seen as a sudden transformation that began in the late eighteenth century, founded on the rapid take-off of the cotton mills and steam power. But if we look at testimonies from this "industrial age", it is possible to find other voices, saying things that we might not expect. This book, the first of its kind, explores some of these "forgotten voices".It looks at people who continued to believe in the viability of manufactures in homes and small workshops, despite the rise of the factories; at those who linked industrial success with protectionism rather than free trade; and at the contemporary discussion of short-term booms and slumps. There were signs of a belief that the rise of manufactures had been gradual, since the reign of Elizabeth I; and there were even claims that British industry was in decline.Drawing on sources that include parliamentary debates and the correspondence of politicians, a new picture is presented of a time when rival perceptions of manufactures were in conflict, in a struggle that determined which views would be marginalised, and which would go on to form our traditional account of the "Industrial Revolution".

Britain in the first half of the nineteenth century has long been seen as living under the great shadow of "industrialization", an age of cotton mills and steam power, when pride in the nation's economic progress mingled with deep concerns about its social consequences. But how did people think at the time about these events? In particular, what were the views on manufactures of politicians at the heart of government?This pamphlet seeks an answer by looking at the "Liberal Tories" Liverpool, Huskisson and Peel, politicians who played a crucial role in shaping the state's economic policies. Looking at their views on the Corn Laws, freer trade, the currency system, technological advance, and factory reform, a picture emerges of a sophisticated understanding of the growth of the manufacturing sector.First appearing in 2001, this study paved the way for the books The Origins of the Idea of the Industrial Revolution (2006) and Forgotten Voices of the Industrial Age (2014). It is now reissued in a second edition.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

Traditionally, the "Industrial Revolution" is seen as a sharp discontinuity in Britain's history, dating from circa 1760, and characterised by the meteoric rise of the cotton mills, the adoption of Watt's steam engine, and the emergence of a new class-based social order. It is a version of events that has been criticised, modified, rejected and revived by generations of historians.But where did this traditional account come from? How did it become customary to date Britain's industrial transformation from the late eighteenth century, to conceptualise it in national terms, to focus on the rise of the cotton factories and steam power, to link such changes with new social trends, and to view such developments as parts of a single process, called the "Industrial Revolution"?First published in 2006, this was the first book ever to be devoted to these issues, and is now reissued in a second edition. It looks at how certain customary accounts of industrial change took shape between the 1780s and the 1840s, and how, ultimately, they were brought together to create general interpretations of the recent past, culminating with Arnold Toynbee's famous lectures on the "Industrial Revolution" in the early 1880s.
