Ian Inkster's intent in these studies is to move beyond the high
culture and expertise of science towards the construction of the
culture of urban communities. The work draws on a mass of detailed
research and focuses on Britain's social and cultural advantages
over other industrialising nations in the years prior to the Great
Exhibition of 1851, an advantage which was not created by any
single decision, nor by any explicit investment effect. Out of
urban culture emerged a public sphere and an information system
within which class divisions were abrogated; at the same time the
relations between information and technique became complex and
decidedly non-linear. So was created a social asset drawn upon by
business interests, technicians, tinkerers and inventors throughout
the period, and for some considerable time beyond it. Industrial
Britain was made from diverse materials, amongst which were those
fabricated in the course of cultural dissent and social ambition.
