Full description for The Victorians
The 19th century saw greater changes than any previous era: in the ways nations and societies were organized, in scientific knowledge, and in non-religious intellectual development. The crucial players in this drama were the British, who invented both capitalism abd imperialism, and were incomparably the richest, most important investors in the developing world. Here, A.N. Wilson singles out those writers, statesmen, scientists, philosophers and soldiers whose lives illuminated an age on the cusp of modernity. He illuminates, through these signature lives, how Victorian England started a revolution that still hasn't ended.
