The pioneering genius behind Britain’s canal system, James Brindley (1716–72) was celebrated by the Victorian writer Samuel Smiles as a man who rose from poverty to greatness – to the offence of his relatives. This revised biography sheds new light on the family’s background amid Derbyshire Quaker gentry, outlines his engineering innovations, and explores his friendships with Josiah Wedgwood and Erasmus Darwin.
