Product Information
A superbly told history of Victoria's Britain in all its grandeur and misery, triumph and doubt To live in Victorian Britain was to experience an astonishing series of changes, of a kind for which there was simply no precedent in the human experience. There were revolutions in transport, communication, work; cities grew vast; scientific ideas made the intellectual landscape unrecognizable. This was an exhilarating time, but also a horrifying one. David Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of Victorian Britain. This was a country which saw itself at the summit of the world. And yet it was a society also convulsed by doubt, fear and introspection. Repeatedly, politicians and writers felt themselves to be staring into the abyss and what is seen as an era of irritating self-belief was in practice obsessed by a sense of its own fragility, whether as a great power or as a moral force. Victorious Century catches the relish and humour of the age, but also the dilemmas of a kind with which we remain familiar today.Product Identifiers

A easy to read early history of Great Britain
Very interesting once you get past the lead up to the start of the nineteenth century. An interesting period when the great was put into Great Britain and this tiny isle ruled vast countries.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
