Review

"L. D. Schwarz's London in the Age of Industrialisation...is a major breakthrough....an important, stimulating and wide-ranging book. Schwarz forces us to re-examine a number of fundamental questions about the Hanoverian metropolis." Times Literary Supplement

"Schwarz's admirable analysis adds considerable detail to our understanding of London's development and whets our appetite for further integration of the available data with explanatory vehicles. One can ask no more from any work." Journal of Economic History

"...those interested in the impacts of industrialization and demographic change on London in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries will surely wish to consult this monograph." N. F. R. Crafts, Albion

"... a book which will be cited continually by historians of London during the age of industrialization." Lynn MacKay, Victorian Review

"...a highly original book, full of ideas as well as facts, which deserves to be consulted by those interested in contemporary labour questions as well as by labour and urban historians in general and anyone particularly interested in London or specialising in British history." Theo Barker, Labor History

"Throughout, Schwarz emphasizes continuities, as well as disjunctures. The metropolis has an expositor who gives due weight and convincing insights into the forces which transfigured London." Journal of Social History

"Schwarz makes an impressive case for continuity in the economic and social life of the capital from the seventeenth century to the twentieth...specialists in the hard social history of the capital will surely welcome it. In the range of new data it presents on demographic, economic, and social trends of the eighteenth century. it makes an impressive breakthrough." Stewart Weaver, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"London in the Age of Industrialism is an admirably researched, elegantly written, and thoroughly accessible book. Schwarz has synthesized a diverse, multidisciplinary literature, incorporating his own detailed archival work to provide a new perspective on economy and society in London over one and one-half centuries." the Journal of Modern History

Book Description

This book provides a detailed analysis of the changes to the economy and social structure of London during this time.
