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"--Publisher's website Carter, James 1792-1853 Carter, James 1792-1853 Political and social views Carter, James 1792-1853 fast Geschichte gnd 1800-1899 fast Industrielle Revolution (DE-588)4072790-7 gnd Intellektueller (DE-588)4027249-7 gnd Schneider (DE-588)4153182-6 gnd Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 gnd Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd Tailors Great Britain Biography Artisans Great Britain Biography Authors, English 19th century Biography Intellectuals Great Britain Biography Social change Great Britain History 19th century Industrial revolution Social aspects Great Britain History 19th century Artisans fast Authors, English fast Intellectuals fast Political and social views fast Social change fast Social conditions fast Tailors fast Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd Great Britain History 19th century Biography Great Britain Social conditions 19th century Great Britain fast Biography fast History fast UHS-201810 nebis EN NEBIS 100 1- Ferguson Christopher 1976- (DE-588)1139790544 Verfasser aut BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NEBIS UHS UHS ULHS ND 18845
