Notes
The lives of working people changed radically during Victorian times, especially as steam power developed. New factory towns grew into huge industrial cities. In the country, new machinery helped farmers increase their output. Inventions such as the telegraph and the typewriter meant that life would never be the same again. This book describes these developments and looks at their impact on the lives of rich and poor.Contents
