Viac o knihe Nineteenth-Century Britain
Most comprehensive and authoritative short guide to nineteenth-century Britain
Highly acclaimed text, first published in the best-selling The Oxford Illustrated History of Britain
Revised and updated for this edition
Indispensable for students and general readers
First published as part of the best-selling The Oxford Illustrated History of Britain, Christopher Harvie and Colin Matthew`s Very Short Introduction to Nineteenth-Century Britain is a sharp but subtle account of remarkable economic and social change and an even more remarkable political stability. Britain in 1789 was overwhelmingly rural, agrarian, multilingual, and almost half Celtic. By 1914, when it faced its greatest test since the defeat of Napoleon, it was largely urban and English. Christopher Harvie and Colin Matthew show the forces behind Britain`s rise to its imperial zenith, and the continuing tensions within the nations and classes of the `union state`.
