Matthew Boulton was a leading industrialist, entrepreneur and Enlightenment figure. Often overshadowed through his association with James Watt, his Soho manufactories put Birmingham at the centre of what has recently been termed 'the Industrial Enlightenment'. Exploring his many activities and manufactures, and the regional, national and international context in which he operated, this publication provides a valuable index to the current state of Boulton studies.
