The Genius of Josiah Wedgwood

TODAY BBC2 21.00hrs


Historian and author AN Wilson explores the life of Josiah Wedgwood. As one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution, Wegdwood was self-made and self-educated. He was Britain's first great artist-industrialist, an innovative scientist and a believer in the Rights of Man, at a time when Britain was marked by the slave trade. At the core of his mission, Wedgwood wanted to make beautiful objects and he wanted to leave the world a more beautiful place.
