In the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of
the twentieth century a variety of forces emerged which changed
society in many profound and subtle ways. The Making of Modern
English Society from 1850 uses the findings of recent historical
and sociological research contemporary literature, and a wide range
of historical sources to form a clear picture of the main patterns
of the social changes which took place in this turbulent period.
Jane Roebuck shows how in these hundred years the whole fabric of
society altered more rapidly and radically than in ant preceding
century. She gives and account of the dramatic change which
occurred in all spheres of national liked. She demonstrates how the
drift towards socialism, which began in the nineteenth century,
gathered momentum in the twentieth and how massive social chance
was on produce of the two world wars. In the field of economics,
the author considers the development of the maturing but still
primitive industrial economy of the mid-nineteenth century into a
modern economy based on mass production and mass consumption. She
also describes the change in emphasis from desire for world power
to concern for domestic prosperity and welfare services.
