Books
It was the golden Victorian age - one of prosperity and transformation. Britannia ruled the waves, and through its achievements and influence, it was a leader for political, economic and cultural change. This century clearly saw seismic transformation, but what did this mean to the nation? Just a few decades later, most of what Victorian Britain held dear would be shattered by the aftermath of the Great War. Tracing the political, social and economic cultures of the period, as well as what might have been, Rubenstein seeks to uncover how this fascinating century impacted the British people and their sense of identity.
