Discussion Post: Revolutions of Industrialization
Using two readings on the Revolutions of Industrialization:
1) Leeds Woolen Workers' Petition (1786), attacking the effects of machinery.
2) Fredrich Engels, "Industrial Manchester" (1844), excerpts from The Condition of the Working Class in England, (1845).
3) Edwin Chadwick (1803-1890): Report on Sanitary Conditions, 1842.
4) Women Miners in the English Coal Pits, 1842.
5) Texts on the Physical Effects of Factory Work.
6) The Peterloo Massacre, 1819.
