Abstract

Although the term “Industrial Revolution” is now a commonplace, it actually has a rather long and interesting history. Its first use is as early as 1799, when a French envoy to Berlin wrote that his country had entered upon one (Landes in The British industrial revolution: An economic perspective (2nd ed.). Westview Press, 1999). Its meaning in this context was a rapid advance in just one industry in one place in one time. For a long while after that, contemporaries used the phrase in this relatively limited sense (Griffin in The ‘industrial revolution’: interpretations from 1830 to the present. Working Paper, School of History, UEA, Norwich, 2013). However, the meaning of the term expanded to its present usage in the late nineteenth century when the social and economic effects of industrialisation were at their more disruptive and had clearly become irreversible. This chapter considers the potential effects that human sociality has had in causing and shaping the Industrial Revolution and how that Revolution has in turn affected human society and the individual.
