Beschreibung

30,000 copies sold in hardback. A hugely readable group-portrait of the Lunar Society of Birmingham - who were instrumental in catalysing the Industrial Revolution. To be promoted with a broadsheet press ad campaign. A key title for Christmas trade promotions. "The best book I've read this year - full of unexpected information, amazing characters and the real sense that scientific curiosity is as exciting as any 'artistic pursuit'". A S Byatt

Über den Autor

Jenny Uglow grew up in Cumbria and now lives in Canterbury. Her books include prize-winning biographies of Elizabeth Gaskell and William Hogarth. The Lunar Men, published in 2002, was described by Richard Holmes as 'an extraordinarily gripping account', while Nature's Engraver: A Life of Thomas Bewick, won the National Arts Writers Award for 2007 and A Gambling Man: Charles II and the Restoration was shortlisted for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize. The Pinecone, published in 2012, tells the story of Romantic visionary Sarah Losh and was described as 'a quiet masterpiece'. Jenny's most recent book, In These Times: Living in Britain through Napoleon's Wars, 1793-1815 was longlisted for the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. Jenny is Chair of the Council of the Royal Society of Literature.
