This study provides an extensive survey of the economic activities
of the gentry, their role as entrepreneurs and as popularisers of
the metropolitan culture of Georgian London. It describes how
during the eighteenth century, local elites from remote corners of
Britain were amalgamated into one new ruling class, a body
distinguished by common attitudes, social outlook, living standards
and educational patterns. The author provides a synthesis of
social, economic and political changes in the years prior to
industrialisation. Political changes are studied in detail, and the
changing role of political parties and ideologies is examined.
Then, after a comprehensive study of the activities and attitudes
of the gentry, the book concludes by attempting to explain
precisely why Britain should have led the world in the twin
processes of industrialisation and modernisation.
