Résumé
A rich and vivid history of Britain's second city through the people who made it
'What Manchester thinks today, England thinks tomorrow.'
Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the 'shock city' of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too, with the world's first stored-program computer, Baby.
A city as radical as it is revolutionary, Manchester has always been a political hotbed.
The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence. Manchester's spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too, bringing the world Anthony Burgess, L. S. Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis.
Mention United or City almost anywhere and you'll find fans, and opinions. Until now, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From the author of the bestselling Northerners, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people.
