*Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading Between the 18th and early 19th centuries, Britain experienced massive leaps in technological, scientific, and economical advancement. This powerful period has since been immortalized as the great Industrial Revolution, during which Britain became a formidable force that boasted unmatched economical growth, drastic changes in living conditions, and even the emergence of a neglected social class. Vast portions of rural lands were transformed into interconnected, complex, and multitasking cities. Dozens of innovative inventions and products were churned out in bulk and sold to the masses for the first time ever. Some of the greatest thinkers and creators ventured forth from the shadows. Scientists, engineers, merchants, and manufacturers alike were at the height of their prime, nurtured by a culture that embraced the vision of growth, progress, and industrial unity. The Industrial Revolution saw Britain rise to the top and become the envy of the world's most prestigious nations. At the same time, the pivotal era was far from perfect, featuring a dark underbelly and an army of unsung heroes. It was American writer and futurist Alvin Toffler who once called technology "the great growing engine of change." The 18th century German linguist Johann Gottfried von Herder was another proponent of enlightenment and technological progress. "Nothing in Nature stands still," said von Herder. "Everything strives and moves forward." One would be hard-pressed to find anyone today that would disagree with these sentiments. Those whose opinions suggest otherwise are often thoughtlessly dismissed, and those who hold them ridiculed as tin-foil-hat sporting paranoids or pretentious "hipsters." But what happens when the very instruments meant to help people begin to put lives at stake? Meet the Luddites, a 19th century brotherhood of rebels who vowed to annihilate every last one of the newfangled spinning machines that cost thousands their jobs. The Luddites' riots are indefensible, at least from the standpoint of violence, but they beg the question of whether the protests were nonsensical acts of rage carried out by thugs who sought to exploit imagined fears or desperate measures taken by those who felt neglected by the government. The Luddites: The History and Legacy of the English Rebels Who Protested against Advanced Machinery during the Industrial Revolution chronicles the revolution and the negative reaction to it. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Luddites like never before.

An invaluable collection of texts written between 1811 and 1816 by members of the Luddite movement and their sympathizers. Named for their probably mythical leader, Ned Ludd, the Luddites were a group of social agitators in nineteenth-century Britain who tried to prevent the mechanization of cloth factories, which they blamed for increased unemployment, poverty, and hunger in industrial centers. Though famous for their often violent protests, the Luddites also engaged in literary resistance in the form of poems, proclamations, petitions, songs, and letters. In Writings of the Luddites, Kevin Binfield collects complete texts written by Luddites or Luddite sympathizers between 1811 and 1816, adds detailed notes, and organizes the documents by the three primary regions of origin: the Midlands, Northwestern England, and Yorkshire. Binfield’s extensive introduction provides a historical overview of the Luddites and their activities, explores their rhetorical strategies, and illuminates their literary context. Written for the most part from a collective point of view, the texts themselves range from judicious to bloodthirsty in tone and reveal a fascination both with legal forms of address and with the more personal forms of Romantic literature, as well as with the recent political revolutions in France and America.

Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ... shall destroy any woollen weft, or warp, &c, or shall break and destroy any of the tools and machinery used in the manufacture of the same, such person or persons convicted thereof, shall be guilty of felony, and suffer death, without benefit of the clergy.' "His Lordship said, he particularly mentioned this act, because it would probably apply to many of these cases which would come before them. "Several charges," said his Lordship, "will probably be brought before you, and indictments preferred for burgularies and robberies, by force and violence, by day and by night, as well as for malicious shooting, which has been rendered a capital offence in the present reign; on these cases I do not know that it is ncessary to make any observation; you will dispose of them according to the evidence." His Lordship then proceeded to explain the law, with respect to accessaries to felony, before and after the fact. An accessary before the fact, said his Lordship, is one, who without being present at the commission of a felony-doth contrive, aid, counsel, or procure it to be done. An accessary after the fact, is one, who knowing of the felony, aids, comforts, succours, and conceals the felon; and in general, all succour afforded to the felon, previous to his apprehension, comes under this species of crime, an offence, which in many cases, is deprived of the benefit of the clergy. Misprision of felony, which is knowing of a felony, and concealing it, is also an offence at common law, and punishable as a high misdemeanor. There is another species of offence, deserving of your most serious attention; that of administering unlawful oaths. His Lordship here read extracts from acts recently passed, to prevent the commission of this offence, by which, every...
