This book was released on 1990 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and criticizes the thesis of Elie HalEvy (1870-1937), a liberal French historian, philosopher and political scientist. Developed before World War I, his thesis on early industrial England is still influential today. In his extensive studies of England in the 18th and 19th centuries, HalEvy asked why the English were spared the frequent revolutions which his countrymen experienced during the same period. He found his answer in the restraining and spreading influences of Evangelicalism which Methodists shared with some low-church Anglicans and some Nonconformists. This study includes excerpts from the works of HalEvy and many of his most distinguished British and North American critics, as well as extensive notes explaining specialized terms and historical references, a selected bibliography, and an introductory essay by the editor, reviewing the HalEvy thesis and criticisms of it. Contents: The HalEvy ThesisoPresented and Criticized; Met and Evangelicalism in John Wesley's Life-Time; Methodism and Evangelicalism After Wesley's Death; Methodism and Liberal Historians; Methodism and Marxist Historians; and The HalEvy Thesis Re-Examined."

This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Industrial Revolution' was a pivotal point in British history that occurred between the mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries and led to far reaching transformations of society. With the advent of revolutionary manufacturing technology productivity boomed. Machines were used to spin and weave cloth, steam engines were used to provide reliable power, and industry was fed by the construction of the first railways, a great network of arteries feeding the factories. Cities grew as people shifted from agriculture to industry and commerce. Hand in hand with the growth of cities came rising levels of pollution and disease. Many people lost their jobs to the new machinery, whilst working conditions in the factories were grim and pay was low. As the middle classes prospered, social unrest ran through the working classes, and the exploitation of workers led to the growth of trade unions and protest movements. In this Very Short Introduction, Robert C. Allen analyzes the key features of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and the spread of industrialization to other countries. He considers the factors that combined to enable industrialization at this time, including Britain's position as a global commercial empire, and discusses the changes in technology and business organization, and their impact on different social classes and groups. Introducing the 'winners' and the 'losers' of the Industrial Revolution, he looks at how the changes were reflected in evolving government policies, and what contribution these made to the economic transformation.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schlossberg (senior research associate, the Ethics and Public Policy Center) argues that by the time Victoria became queen in 1837, Victorian culture was already in place. Focusing on the period between the 1790s and the 1840s, he shows how the religious revival that took hold of England's culture constituted a "silent revolution" that formed the basis of Victorian culture. He describes various manifestations of the religious revival, focusing on the main renewal movements in the Church of England and the spread of evangelicalism to dissenting religious groups.

Download or read book Industrial England 1776 1851 written by Dorothy Marshall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Dorothy Marshall covers a vital period in English social development, during which the traditional social hierarchy of order and degree was giving place to a class society marked by the growth of a self-conscious working class. The author shows how, between 1776 and 1851, industrialization brought about major changes in the structure of society, so that by 1851 the outlines of modern urban and industrial society had been irrevocably drawn. She examines the social implications of the Industrial Revolution, referring in particular to the growth of urban society, the repercussions on the rural community and the resulting alterations in the social structure. She examines upper-, middle- and working-class opinions on such topics as religion and education, and traces the effect of the economic and social changes on the constitution and on political life. In the final chapter Dr Marshall describes the way in which the abuses of the new society brought about the demand for parliamentary legislation to deal with the injustices of the Poor Law, the factory system, and the problem of sanitation. This fascinating book was first published in 1973.
