WEDGEWOOD
“...first-rate biography...”
– Publishers Weekly

“Brian Dolan's knowledgeable biography of Josiah Wedgwood emphasizes his story's contemporary business resonances... the author also carefully sketches the social, intellectual and economic climate of an age very different from our own... Dolan does a nice job of explaining the trade's technical aspects to the lay reader.”
– Wendy Smith, The Washington Post

“Through meticulous detail, Dolan's recounting of Wedgwood's life as a scientist, businessman, and philosopher traces not only the development of fine china in the West but also the beginnings of consumerism itself.”
– David Siegfried, Booklist
