Description
The British nineteenth century was an astonishing series of changes, with revolutions in transport, communication, and work. Cities grew vast, and scientific ideas transformed the intellectual landscape. This was a time of exhilaration and horror, as a society convulsed by doubt, fear, and introspection saw itself at the summit of the world. David Cannadine's new book reframes this period in all its energy and dynamism, darkness and vice. A country that had once seemed invincible now grappled with uncertainty, questioning its place in the world. This bold and fascinating interpretation offers a fresh perspective on a time that is both strangely familiar and yet wholly unlike our own. With 624 pages of detailed analysis, Cannadine's Victorious Century provides a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal era in British history.
