Description

 							
  
  This
remarkable book looks at hundreds of autobiographies penned between 1760 and 1900 to offer an intimate firsthand account
of how the Industrial Revolution was experienced by the working class. The Industrial Revolution brought not simply
misery and poverty. On the contrary, Griffin shows how it raised incomes, improved literacy and offered exciting
opportunities for political action.
  
  Review
  “Liberty’s Dawn is a triumph, achieved in
fewer than 250 gracefully written pages. They persuasively purvey Griffin’s historical conviction. She is
intimate with her audience, wooing it and teasing it along the way.”—Anthony Fletcher, Times Literary
Supplement
  (Anthony Fletcher Times Literary Supplement 2013-10-11)
  
  “An admirably intimate
and expansive revisionist history.”—Publishers Weekly
  (Publishers Weekly)
  
  “A
provocative study.”—The New Yorker
  (The New Yorker)
  
  “This is a brave book that
challenges accepted wisdom by offering a decidedly optimistic view of the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the
opportunities, freedoms and choices available to the working class.”—Pat Hudson, Times Higher Education
Supplement
  (Pat Hudson Times Higher Education Supplement 2013-08-01)
  
  'A totally compelling account
of the Industrial Revolution. Through a remarkable range of life stories, Emma Griffin opens up this extraordinary epoch
of change, providing a brilliant chronicle of its social history and upending traditional interpretations in the
process. With her light touch and rigorous scholarship, Griffin provides an important and rewarding overview of this
defining moment in British history.' - Tristram Hunt, author of Building Jerusalem: The Rise and Fall of the Victorian
City
  (Tristram Hunt)
  
  'Emma Griffin's brilliant use of the voices of the poor that survive in
memoirs allows us to grasp the ambiguiities and complexities of their encounter with the momentous changes of the
Industrial Revolution as never before. It was not simply a time of harsdhip and disruption but of opportunity and
release from social constraints. Griffin's stylish and accessible account marks a major shift in our understanding of
this period that moves beyond economic abstractions: we hear the voices of those who lived through the creation of the
world's first industrial society.' - Martin Daunton, author of Wealth and Welfare: An Economic and Social History of
Britain, 1851-1951
  (Martin Daunton)
  
  'Emma Griffin gives a new and powerful voice to the men and
women whose blood and sweat greased the wheels of the Industrial Revolution.' - Tim Hitchcock, author of Down and Out in
Eighteenth-Century London
  (Tim Hitchcock)
  
  “Through the ‘messy tales’ of more
than 350 working-class lives, Emma Griffin arrives at an upbeat interpretation of the Industrial Revolution most of us
would hardly recognise. It is quite enthralling.”—Elizabeth Grice, Oldie Magazine
  (Elizabeth Grice
Oldie Magaizne 2013-07-27)
  
  “Griffin’s crisp and accessible prose rests on a foundation of
scrupulous scholarship.”—Amanda Vickery, The Guardian (Amanda Vickery The Guardian 2013-12-28)
  
  ‘This is a novel twist on the story behind the Industrial Revolution. Griffin does a fine job in personalising
the social history of the period by trawling through hundreds of autobiographies from 1760-1900 to offer first-hand
experiences of how this era impacted upon the working classes, including a rise in income and improved
literacy.’—Steve Harnell, Who Do You Think You Are Magazine (Stever Harnell Who Do You Think You Are
Magazine 2014-04-01)
  
  ‘Griffin’s excellent history of writing by those born in poverty. .
.shine a light on what working men endured. . .and what they
felt about it, in their own words.’—Lesley McDowell, Sunday Herald (Lesley McDowell Sunday Herald
2014-03-23)
