Regions and Industries - A Perspective on the Industrial Revolution in Britain (Hardcover, New)

It is the contention of this book that industrialization in Britain
(and elsewhere) occurred first and foremost within regions rather
than in the nation as a whole and that attempts to understand the
'first industrial revolution' as a fundamentally important
economic, social and political process are best undertaken with the
regional perspective at centre stage. In Regions and Industries a
team of distinguished historians contribute a series of
interconnected essays illustrative of the richness and variety of
fundamental change at regional level. Each essay is focused around
a set of clearly articulated themes, concerning the relations
between agriculture, population, resources, communications and
cultures, and the changing national and international context
within which regional economies functioned. The volume provides a
comprehensive analysis of the existing theoretical and empirical
literature, and emphasizes again the need to evaluate aggregate
studies of 'national' variables in the light of contrasting
regional experiences.
