Description
Little Englanders: A Colourful Social History of the Edwardian Era The Edwardian era, spanning from the late 1890s to the outbreak of World War I, was a time of profound social change in Britain. Alwyn Turner explores this period in 'Little Englanders', revealing a complex and dynamic society marked by the rise of women's suffrage, the labour movement, and cultural tensions. Turner delves into the world of music halls, male beauty contests, and the real-life stories behind the 1908 Summer Olympics. He also examines the unrest in Ireland and the Boer republics, as well as the scandals that rocked parliament and British culture. This engaging social history offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in British history. Through its colourful and detailed narrative, 'Little Englanders' shows that the golden Victorian age was giving way to a new era of modern Britain, full of promise and uncertainty.
