Tristram Hunt – The Radical Potter: Josiah Wedgwood and The Transformation of Britain

The Radical Potter is a spectacular new biography of the pioneering designer, entrepreneur, and beacon of the early Industrial Revolution, Josiah Wedgwood.

Strongly based on Wedgwood’s notebooks, letters and the words of his contemporaries, historian and politician Dr Tristram Hunt captures the energy and originality of Wedgwood, and his transformative contributions not only to the development of eighteenth-century Britain but to modern business practices ever since.

Dr Tristram Hunt is Director of the V&A and one of Britain’s best-known historians. He served as MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central from 2010 to 2017, during which time he also served as Shadow Secretary of State for Education. He was a senior lecturer in British history at Queen Mary, University of London, and has written numerous series for radio and television.
