Land Of Lost Content: The Luddite Revolt, 1812
The book explores the Luddite movement, which was a group of displaced textile workers in Yorkshire who protested the loss of their livelihoods and the new machinery of the Industrial Revolution through organized violence, such as destroying frames. The title is taken from a poem by A.E. Housman and reflects the Luddites' sense of loss and anger in the face of overwhelming social and economic change.
