In this wide-ranging history of modern Britain, Eric Evans surveys
every aspect of the period in which Britain was transformed into
the world's first industrial power. By the end of the nineteenth
century, Britain was still ruled by wealthy landowners, but the
world over which they presided had been utterly transformed. It was
an era of revolutionary change unparalleled in Britain - yet that
change was achieved without political revolution. Ranging across
the developing empire, and dealing with such central institutions
as the church, education, health, finance and rural and urban life,
The Shaping of Modern Britain provides an unparallelled account of
Britain's rise to superpower status. Particular attention is given
to the Great Reform Act of 1832, and the implications of the 1867
Reform Act are assessed. The book discusses: - the growing role of
the central state in domestic policy making - the emergence of the
Labour party - the Great Depression - the acquisition of a vast
territorial empire Comprehensive, informed and engagingly written,
The Shaping of Modern Britain will be an invaluable introduction
for students of this key period of British history.
