Revue de presse :
"Its sheer power and eloquence will make this book a classic." —Neal, Ascherson, Sunday Observer (London)
"It is Mr. Hobsbawm's achievement both to have captured the exuberance of an age, and to have shown how and why that world was coming to an end. . . . He not only captures the age of empire he also illuminates the course of the twentieth century." —Kennedy, The Economist (London)
"A virtuoso performance. . . . Few, if any, present practitioners of the historian's craft can equal. the astonishing range and dazzling erudition of Mr. Hobsbawm's scholarship." —David M. Kennedy, The New York Times Book Review
"A splendid answer to those critics who complain that academic historians no longer write readable prose. . . . The great strength of this book is the way in which what seems in so many ways a wholly vanished epoch is related to our situation today." —James Joll, The New York Review of Books

The Age of Empire 1875-1914 is the third of Eric Hobsbawm's quartet of books covering the tumultuous rise of the modern industrialised world. Yet this volume also acts as a denouement, because it completes (after The Age of Revolution 1789-1848 and The Age of Capital 1848-1875) Hobsbawm's internal trilogy covering the 'long nineteenth century'. Collectively, the three books may present a rather daunting endeavour, but Hobsbawm is the consummate writer for the everyday reader. In fact, his Preface states that his work 'is addressed not to other academics, but to all who wish to understand the world', and it's this inclusiveness, stripped of academic waffle, that makes this series such a success. For Hobsbawm, the book is not 'a narrative or a systematic exposition' but 'the unfolding of an argument, or rather, the tracing of a basic theme through the various chapters'. And the theme? To 'explain a world in the process of revolutionary transformation, to trace the roots of our present back into the soil of the past and, perhaps above all, to see the past as a coherent whole' .
