See all formats and editions

In this hugely ambitious history of Britain, Eric Evans surveys every aspect of the period in which the country was transformed into the world's first industrial power.

This was an era of revolutionary change unparalleled in Britain, yet one in which transformation was achieved without political revolution.

The unique combination of transition and revolution is a major theme in the book, which ranges across the embryonic empire, the Church, education, health, finance, and rural and urban life.

Evans gives particular attention to the Great Reform Act of 1832.

The Third Edition includes an entirely new introductory chapter, and is illustrated for the first time.
