A documentary history of work, technology and industrial change in nineteenth-century Britain, edited by economic historian Maxine Berg. Drawing on fifty-one contemporary selections, the book examines conflict between workers and managers over mechanisation, division of labour, workplace control, skill, speed-up and the changing organisation of production.

Sources include newspapers, parliamentary enquiries, political pamphlets and industrial reports, with material on agriculture, trades, women’s work, heavy industry, machinery and the emergence of general labour. A useful sourcebook for readers interested in British social and economic history, the Industrial Revolution, labour history and the history of technology.
