Routledge Labouring Classes in Early Industrial England 1750-1850

This comprehensive synthesis examines the social conditions, experiences and reactions of working people during Britain's transformative industrial period from 1750 to 1850. Drawing on current research, the work provides an up-to-date overview of how labouring classes navigated economic upheaval, urbanisation and social change during these pivotal decades. Published by Routledge as part of the Themes in British Social History series, this volume offers historians, students and general readers a detailed understanding of working-class life during early industrialisation, covering employment patterns, living standards, community structures and popular responses to industrial transformation. Essential reading for anyone studying British economic history, social history or the broader impact of industrialisation on ordinary people.
