Blurb

"For sweep of narrative, comprehensive knowledge of its period and sheer entertainment, no other history of Victorian times can match A. N. Wilson’s epic ‘portrait of an age’. At the young, shy Victoria’s accession to the throne, men like Lord Melbourne and rising stars such as Disraeli and Gladstone had barely started debating the problems of poverty, population growth and parliamentary reform; by her final days, as the Boer War rumbled on in a mad scramble for gold and diamonds, Britain had changed beyond all recognition. The Victorian era witnessed ‘the most radical transformation ever seen by the world’ – in technology, politics, religion and the imperial impact of Britain on the rest of the globe. Wilson broaches key personalities and events of the age, from Dickens to Darwin, the Great Exhibition to Gilbert and Sullivan, the Indian Mutiny to the Irish potato famine, the Pre-Raphaelites to prostitution, and railways to Rider Haggard."
