In this online event, Professor Jon Mee (University of York) presents, “All that the most romantic imagination could previously have conceived”: Writing an Industrial Revolution 1795 to 1835. Mee looks at three attempts to write a history of the 'Industrial revolution' before the idea was in circulation: John Aikin's Description of the Country round Manchester (1795), John Kennedy's Observations (1815), and Baines's History of the Cotton Manufacture (1835).
The event marks the launch of the TransPennine Romantic Research Connection.
