There was an increasing demand for engine power due to industrial development. As early as the 2nd century BC, the ancient Greeks invented an engine that was powered by the reaction from spurting steam; in 1690, the Frenchman Barben invented the first piston steam engine. On the basis of his predecessors' work and with his own hard work and numerous trials and failures, James Watt invented the steam engine with connecting rod, flywheel and centrifugal speed governor in 1782.In 1784, the British government granted a patent to James Watt for producing steam engines, which signified that man had entered the age of the steam engine and also significantly expedited the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in 18th century Europe. By the 1830s, steam engines had been widely used in various sectors such as textile, metallurgy, coal mining and transportation; for example, the American Robert Fulton invented the steamboat and the Englishman George Stephenson invented the steam locomotive.

Mr Watkins published a study of Gesualdo's life and music, with a preface by Stravinsky, in 1973; his new book traces the ebb and flow of Gesualdo's reputation over the centuries, and tries to explain it.
