This book examines the early work of Harriet Martineau (1802-1876),
writer, journalist and woman of letters. She became famous in the
1830s with her Illustrations of Political Economy, a series of 25
short novels popularizing the basic principles of Political
Economy. Also discussed are her two shorter series of tales from
that period, Poor Laws and Paupers Illustrated and Illustrations of
Taxation. With these works Martineau took part in an intense debate
about the role of economic theory in English society. Drawing on
such authorities as Adam Smith Martineau offered her readers the
possibility of understanding the impact of the Industrial
Revolution and its concomitant changes.
