Publisher Description
The second of Asa Briggs’s renowned trilogy of Victorian England, this digital version of Victorian People features new illustrations and photographs, and includes newly-recorded video interviews with Lord Briggs.
In this volume Lord Briggs looks at the people, ideas, and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867; from "John Arthur Roebuck and the Crimean War" and "Samuel Smiles and the Gospel of Work" to "Thomas Hughes and the Public Schools" and "Benjamin Disraeli and the Leap in the Dark." It is one of the great seminal works of 19th century social history.
