Description
A comprehensive portrait of the Victorians brings to life the people who shaped their era. A.N. Wilson masterfully weaves together hundreds of lives to tell a story that is both entertaining and insightful. From prominent figures like Prince Albert and Charles Dickens, to ordinary individuals such as doctors tending to cholera victims, this book offers a rich and nuanced exploration of the Victorian age. The industrial-capitalist world was built by businessmen, journalists, and politicians who challenged each other's ideas. Wilson explores the complex interplay between these individuals and their impact on society. This authoritative and accessible book provides a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history, one that remains unfinished to this day. With its engaging narrative, The Victorians offers a compelling look at a fascinating period in British history.
