This volume covers the period from the repeal of the Corn Laws to the dramatic failure of gladstone's first Home Rule Bill in three defining themes: "Established industrialism" encapsulating the growing acceptance that factory life and manufacturing had come to stay. for the first time in history, more worked in industry than on the land; An examination of "multiple national identities" within the United Kingdom revealing the existence of a variety of overlapping traditions flourishing alongside an increasingly influential unitary state; Public culture as something generated by an intermeshed set of economic, scientific, literary and artistic developments. This original and authoritative book will define these pivotal years in British history for the next generation.

Bibliogr. s. 864-902. Indeks.

This absorbing narrative history brings into sharp and lively focus a period of immense energy, creativity, and turmoil. The book opens in 1886, as the Empire is poised to celebrate Victoria's golden jubilee, and ends in 1918 at the close of the 'war to end all wars', with England knowing that an era has conclusive ended. It vividly portrays every aspect of the nation's life - political, social and cultural - carrying the reader from the wretched city slums to the bustling docks and factories, from the grand portals of Westminster to blackpool's new holiday beach, from the world of the leisured aristocracy to the trenches of the Western Front and the violent politics of the militant suffrage movement.
