Description

The Manchester Man - Illustrated A vivid portrayal of 19th-century Manchester, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and the Reform Act. This novel tells the story of Jabez Clegg, a foundling swept away by the River Irk in flood in 1799. The narrative explores the city's development as it became the world's first industrial city, including the notorious Peterloo Massacre and its aftermath. The book provides valuable insight into the roles of some of Manchester's founding fathers and offers a unique perspective on this pivotal period in British history. With original illustrations and an introduction by Malc Cowle, The Manchester Man is a riveting read for those interested in Manchester's history and development. Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, this book sheds new light on a significant era in Manchester's past.
