About this product

Product Information

First published in 1936, this now-classic volume spans a time of rapid and far-reaching change in England--from Gladstone's first ministry, through the great contest with Disraeli, the Home Rule debate, the establishment of the Labour moverment, the Boer War, and the Liberal reforms of 1909-10, to the end of an era marked by the catastrophe of 1914. With stimulating analyses of social and economic developments as well as domestic and foreign policy, Ensor's account serves as a superb introduction to the period it covers and offers insight into the world of the 1930s in which it was written.

A well organised account of British history from 1870 to 1914,
For “England” in the title we may also read Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Although the Oxford History of England series is now very dated, this volume being published as far back as 1936, it is an ideal book for a lay reader like myself. It is well organised, covering such aspects of Nineteenth Century and early Twentieth Century British history as the legislation introduced by the governments of Gladstone, Disraeli, Salisbury, Rosebery, Balfour, Campbell-Bannerman and Asquith, economic progress, developments in a wide range of areas such as education, literature, ideology, costume, and the crises in foreign affairs preceding the First World War. The style is lucid and it is a pleasure to read older books of this ilk which are written in grammatically accurate English, which contrasts very much with some of the newer works in the field of historiography. There are also seven helpful maps and a list of the government cabinets of this period.
