In Britain since 1789, Martin Pugh offers a stimulating
introduction to the fundamental social, political and economic
changes that took place in Great Britain from the late eighteenth
century to the present day. In his study of this complex and
fascinating period, he explores the major factors governing and
determining events and asks: How and why did Britain reach her peak
as a great industrial power by 1850? What has been the nature and
extent of economic decline since the late-Victorian period? How, as
violent, revolutionary change swept across Europe, did the
aristocratic British political system give way to mass democracy
with scarcely a protest? How did Britain manage to acquire a huge
empire in the nineteenth century while investing so little in her
armed forces? Drawing on the latest historical research, Pugh
presents an accessible, concise and yet wide-ranging analysis of
the factors that have shaped contemporary Britain. His study
culminates in an evaluation of Britain's dilemmas at the end of
this century - following the collapse of consensus politics, the
rejection of Thatcherism, the emergence of New Labour and the
reappraisal of Britain's relationship with Europe.
