Synopsis

Near fine paperback copy; edges very slightly dust-dulled. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 518 pages; xix, 518 p ; 24 cm. This is a study of the political, social, and economic history of England during the period 1815-1906. The 19th century saw the building of one of the world's greatest empires, the transformation of Britain from a predominantly rural society into the world's first industrial nation, and the development of a modern state equipped with a large and expanding bureaucracy. The author has marshalled the complex and abundant evidence to provide an account of 19th century English history. Within each of four chronological divisions - 1815-1830, 1830-1850, 1850-1880, and 1880-1906 - there are chapters on the political background, administrative development, and social and economic issues. The author explores major themes such as the massive increase in population, the nature of class, and the scope of state activity.
