Carter began his working life at age thirteen as an apprentice and continued to work as a tailor throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, first in Colchester and then in London. As the Industrial Revolution brought innovations to every aspect of British life, Carter took advantage of opportunities to push against the boundaries of his working-class background. He supplemented his income through his writing, publishing often unsigned books, articles, and poems on subjects as diverse as religion, death, nature, aesthetics, and theories of civilization. Carter's words give us a fascinating window into the revolutionary forces that upended the world of ordinary citizens in this era and demonstrate how the changes in daily life impacted personal experiences and intellectual pursuits as well as labor practices and living and working environments. Ferguson deftly explores a forgotten tailor's varied responses to the many transformations that produced the world's first modern society"--From publisher's website. 606 $aIndustrial revolution$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aIntellectuals$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, English$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aArtisans$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aTailors$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustrial revolution$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aIntellectuals 615 0$aAuthors, English 615 0$aArtisans 615 0$aTailors 676 $a941.07 700 $aFerguson$b Christopher$f1976-$01748099 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153652603321 996 $aAn Artisan Intellectual$94180602 997 $aUNINA
