They built a nation. Now it's our turn. Many associate the
Victorian era with austere social attitudes and filthy factories.
But in this bold and provocative book, Jacob Rees-Mogg -- leading
Tory MP and prominent Brexit advocate -- takes up the story of
twelve landmark figures to paint a very different picture of the
age: one of bright ambition, bold self-belief and determined
industriousness. Whether through Peel's commitment to building free
trade, Palmerston's deft diplomacy in international affairs, or
Pugin's uplifting architectural feats, the Victorians transformed
the nation and established Britain as a preeminent global force.
Now 200 years since the birth of Queen Victoria, it is essential
that we remember the spirit, drive and values of the Victorians who
forged modern Britain, as we consider our future as a nation.
