About the book

Humphrey Jennings's Pandaemonium: The Coming of the Machine as Seen by Contemporary Observers assembles hundreds of extracts written between 1660 and 1886 to create an 'imaginative history' of the Industrial Revolution. Diaries, letters, poems, reports and eyewitness accounts capture factories, mines, steam power, cities, scientific discoveries and changing landscapes, allowing the transformation of Britain by machines and industrialisation to be experienced through the voices of people who witnessed it.
