History of Britain The fate of the empire 1776-2001 Vol 3 Britain never had the kind of revolution experienced by France in 1789 but it did come close.

This power of the cult of nature enabled two things - to make man see and explore Britain in a way unimaginable a generation before and to pit democrat cosmopolitans against patriots. From the politics of wildness 'A History of Britain' moves to the Victorian era and its question of how to create a better world in the face of upheaval. As the Victorian era began the massive advance of technology and industrialisation was rapidly reshaping both the landscape and the social structure of the whole country. To a much greater extent than ever before women would take a centre stage role in shaping society. ...
