Description

Eric J. Evans explores the transformation of Britain from a late 18th-century agrarian society to a dominant industrial nation, laying the foundations for its vast empire. This period of rapid change saw Britain become the world's most powerful nation, marked by both economic opportunity and domestic political crises.

Evans' study ranges widely, examining key themes such as politics, diplomacy, culture, economics, and religion, to convey the drama of a century of significant change. From 1783 to 1870, Britain underwent a profound shift, with the society of wealthy landowners giving way to an urban, industrial, and commercial powerhouse.

This fourth edition of The Forging of the Modern State has been revised and updated with recent research, engaging more extensively with themes such as gender, national identities, and Britain's relationship with its empire. The book includes illustrations, maps, and a comprehensive Compendium of Information, making it a valuable resource for students of this period in British history.
