'Ackroyd makes history accessible to the layman' - Ian Thomson,
Independent Innovation brings Peter Ackroyd's History of England to
a triumphant close. In it, Ackroyd takes readers from the end of
the Boer War and the accession of Edward VII to the end of the
twentieth century, when his great-granddaughter Elizabeth II had
been on the throne for almost five decades. A century of enormous
change, encompassing two world wars, four monarchs (Edward VII,
George V, George VI and the Queen), the decline of the aristocracy
and the rise of the Labour Party, women's suffrage, the birth of
the NHS, the march of suburbia and the clearance of the slums. It
was a period that saw the work of the Bloomsbury Group and T. S.
Eliot, of Kingsley Amis and Philip Larkin, of the end of the
post-war slump to the technicolour explosion of the 1960s, to free
love and punk rock and from Thatcher to Blair. A vividly readable,
richly peopled tour de force, it is Peter Ackroyd writing at his
considerable best.
