This engaging book provides a gateway to larger themes in modern
British history through a set of fascinating portraits of
individuals that explore important events and movements from the
perspective of the people involved. Political developments are
illuminated through chapters on John Locke, Charles Townshend,
popular radicalism, and Margaret Thatcher. Religion and education
are considered through essays on evangelicalism, the Oxford
Movement, Charles Bradlaugh, and Sir James Kay Shuttleworth.
Industrial and imperial questions are explored through pieces on
the Great Exhibition, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and
post-colonial Nigeria. National identity and wartime experience
come to life in the lives of G. K. Chesterton and of Barbara Nixon,
an Airraid Warden during the Blitz. Many of the chapters examine
the experiences of women, including single women in early modern
England, suffragettes, and Irish nationalist Mary Butler. As a rich
and humanized approach to history, this book offers readers a
deeper understanding of key facets of British life in the early
modern and modern periods.
