Dr Dorothy Marshall covers a vital period in English social
development, during which the traditional social hierarchy of order
and degree was giving place to a class society marked by the growth
of a self-conscious working class.
The author shows how, between 1776 and 1851, industrialization
brought about major changes in the structure of society, so that by
1851 the outlines of modern urban and industrial society had been
irrevocably drawn. She examines the social implications of the
Industrial Revolution, referring in particular to the growth of
urban society, the repercussions on the rural community and the
resulting alterations in the social structure. She examines upper-,
middle- and working-class opinions on such topics as religion and
education, and traces the effect of the economic and social changes
on the constitution and on political life. In the final chapter Dr
Marshall describes the way in which the abuses of the new society
brought about the demand for parliamentary legislation to deal with
the injustices of the Poor Law, the factory system, and the problem
of sanitation. This fascinating book was first published in
1973.
