Seller's Description:
Captivating reading for students of Victorian history, literature, and culture, this volume brings together writings on industrialization to demonstrate the scope of responses-from wondrous celebration to apocalyptic horror-elicited by the advent and establishment of the factory system in nineteenth-century Britain. In this collection, familiar works by John Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle, and William Morris are joined by texts that have fallen into an undeserved obscurity, including selections by factory tourists, inspectors, critics, and workers. An exceptional copy; fine in the original gilt-blocked cloth. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 321 pages; Physical desc. : xiv, 321 p. : ill.; 22 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Subject: Production management-Great Britain-History-19th century. Labor-Great Britain-History-19th century. Manufacturing industries-Great Britain-History-19th centuryFactory management-Great Britain-History-19th century. Great Britain-Social conditions-19th century.
