Josiah Wedgwood (1730–95) revolutionized the pottery industry of his native Staffordshire by employing new materials and introducing a form of mass production. This classic biography, here in a new edition with colour illustrations, contains many passages from letters in which Wedgwood discusses his entrepreneurial business dealings and scientific research, his family life and his political activities, including his support for the abolition of slavery.
