The Useful Knowledge of William Hutton: Culture and Industry in Eighteenth-Century Birmingham
Whyman, Susan E. (Independent Historian, Independent Historian, formerly Princeton University)
Susan Whyman's latest book tells the story of William Hutton, a self-taught workman who rose to prominence during the Industrial Revolution in the rapidly-expanding city of Birmingham. This book brings to life a cast of 'rough diamonds', people of worth and character, but lacking in manners and education, who improved their towns and themselves.
