Description
The Age of Machinery: Engineering the Industrial Revolution, 1770-1850 Gillian Cookson's engaging account explores the key northern centres of textile engineering during this period. Between 1770 and 1850, pioneering machine-makers pushed at the boundaries of possibility, creating a high-tech, factory-centred industry that would shape the world-leading market for textile machinery. This book challenges classical assumptions about the driving forces behind the Industrial Revolution, instead highlighting the potential to accelerate economic growth through social assets and craft skills.
