Abstract
Can we be surprised that a protracted cataclysmic event such as the British
Industrial Revolution continues to inspire such interest—from the opening ceremony
of the British Olympics to the central subject matter of university courses in
economic history? Yet books about the Industrial Revolution only rarely reach
the shelves of the bookstores of Hobart, Tasmania where I am based. Emma
Griffin’s Liberty’s Dawn: A People’s History of the Industrial Revolution did that in
both hardback and paperback probably because it appears to be aimed at a
popular audience.
