Flaptekst:
When the young Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, Britain would have appeared a stranger nation than we usually imagine. There was still a feeling of unease about its place in the world and it was ever fearful of revolution.Yet by the dawn of the twentieth century when Victoria's reign finally ended the nation had been transformed. Britain stood at the centre of an Empire on which the sun never set, boasting a society driven by technology and self confidence.
In his kaleidoscopic account of one of the greatest periods in Britsh history, Michael Paterson describes the main figures, key events and popular movements that made up the crucible from which our modern world emerged. From the Imperial wars far from home to the changing nature of work, the innovations in the role of women, the development of mass media, and the popularization of sport, Paterson investigates the claims that this was a Golden Age.
