Book • 2013
Liberty's Dawn offers a unique perspective on the Industrial Revolution by analyzing hundreds of autobiographies from working-class individuals between 1760 and 1900.

It challenges traditional views by showing how the Industrial Revolution brought increased incomes, improved literacy, and new opportunities for political and cultural expression.

Griffin's work provides a nuanced understanding of this period, focusing on the social experiences of factory workers, miners, and other laborers.
