A propos de cet article

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xxiii, 1017 pp, maps. From the blurb: "The Victorian period witnessed a profound transformation of English society. It saw the decisive shift from agriculture to industry and trade as the bases of the national livelihood, the growth of a predominantly urban society of a sort, and on a scale, new in the experience of mankind, while in the political sphere it saw the engrafting first of middle-class and then of large popular elements on to a predominantly aristocratic constitution that had just recently, in the Napoleonic Wars, given the world a singular demonstration of its ability and strength. Thus the central theme of Victorian history might be described as that of the response of the institutions and traditions of an old, vigorous and highly integrated society to the twin impacts of industrialism and democracy. To illustrate this theme by contemporary evidence, between the years of 1833 and 1874, to provide original testimony of its complexity and growth, is the object of this volume. So important was this development, and so enduring were its consequences, that it has been thought fit to consecrate an entire volume to its documentation. The history of the Empire and of foreign policy (both of which have been treated elsewhere in authoritative documentary collections) is not therefore here represented, and the direct documentation of Irish affairs has been postponed to a subsequent volume in the series. [ The editors] have drawn their material from a very wide variety of sources, some of which are little known, and it is believed that their work provides essential contemporary evidence .The principal sections are as follows: The Monarchy; Parliament; National Resources: Economic Structure and Development; the Churches; Chartism and Free Trade; Law, Penal Systems, and Courts; Central Administration; Local Government; the Poor Law; Public Health; Education; Industrial Conditions and Legislation." A mildly ex-library copy with a white ink number on the spine, university library bookplate and small sticker on the front pastedown endpaper and small number on the verso of the title-page, otherwise a Good copy.…
