Description

Nineteenth-Century Britain: A Very Short Introduction provides a concise overview of the period's significant economic and social changes, as well as its remarkable political stability. From 1789 to 1914, Britain underwent substantial transformations, shifting from a predominantly rural and multilingual society to an urban and English nation. This book explores the forces behind Britain's rise to imperial dominance and the tensions within the 'union state'.
