The industrial revolution stands out as a key event not simply in
British history, but in world history, ushering in as it did a new
era of sustained economic prosperity. But what exactly was the
'industrial revolution'? And why did it occur in Britain when it
did? Ever since the expression was coined in the 19th century,
historians have been debating these questions, and there now exists
a large and complex historiography concerned with English
industrialisation. This short history of the British Industrial
Revolution, aimed at undergraduates, sets out to answer these
questions. It will synthesise the latest research on British
industrialisation into an exciting and interesting account of the
industrial revolution. Deploying clear argument, lively language,
and a fresh set of organising themes, this short history revisits
one of the most central events in British history in a novel and
accessible way. This is an ideal text for undergraduate students
studying the Industrial Revolution or 19th Century Britain.
