Industrial Revolution
The late Victorian era saw both the continuation of trends established earlier in the Industrial Revolution and also new developments and departures from prior practices. Your task in your final essay is to examine continuity and change in one of the following: heavy industry; gender in the workplace; income inequality; urban quality of life. In a well-crafted, 15-page paper, trace developments in one of the above topics from 1850 through 1870 and address whether you think continuity or change was more important to what transpired. Your paper should use both primary and secondary sources including, but not limited to, material assigned for our class.
