SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2018 'This is stupendous. The
British nineteenth century, in all its complexity, all its horror,
all its energy, all its hopes is laid bare. This is the definitive
history, and will remain so for generations' A.N. Wilson To live in
nineteenth-century Britain was to experience an astonishing series
of changes, of a kind for which there was simply no precedent in
the human experience. There were revolutions in transport,
communication, work; cities grew vast; scientific ideas made the
intellectual landscape unrecognizable. This was an exhilarating
time, but also a horrifying one. In his dazzling new book David
Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of the
British nineteenth century in all its energy and dynamism, darkness
and vice. This was a country which saw itself at the summit of the
world. And yet it was a society also convulsed by doubt, fear and
introspection. Victorious Century reframes a time at once strangely
familiar and yet wholly unlike our own.
