Book Description
Excerpt from The Early Days of the Nineteenth Century in England, Vol. 1 of 2: 1800 1820 Viewed from a social and domestic standpoint, the early days of the nineteenth century of the Christian era constitute a period of the national history which cannot be surveyed without interest. Separated as that period is from the present by the space of nearly a hundred years, its manners and customs are nevertheless those of an age widely dissimilar from that in which we are living. Recollections of the French Revolution, and of the excesses by which that event had been accompanied, were still fresh in the public mind. Nor had the passions and the prejudices, which the Revolution had evoked throughout the country, subsided to any material extent. The proclamation by the French Government of free and equal rights to all men had resulted only in making Englishmen cling as for their very life to the cause of monarchy and of social order. Liberty they loved as ardently as ever, but equality they suspected, and fraternity they abhorred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A sweeping history of nineteenth-century Britain by one of the world's most respected historians. "An evocative account . . .[Cannadine] tells his own story persuasively and exceedingly well.” —The Wall Street Journal To live in nineteenth-century Britain was to experience an astonishing and unprecedented series of changes. Cities grew vast; there were revolutions in transportation, communication, science, and work--all while a growing religious skepticism rendered the intellectual landscape increasingly unrecognizable. It was an exhilarating time, and as a result, most of the countries in the world that experienced these changes were racked by political and social unrest. Britain, however, maintained a stable polity at home, and as a result it quickly found itself in a position of global leadership. In this major new work, leading historian David Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of nineteenth-century Britain. Britain was a country that saw itself at the summit of the world and, by some measures, this was indeed true. It had become the largest empire in history: its political stability positioned it as the leader of the new global economy and allowed it to construct the largest navy ever built. And yet it was also a society permeated with doubt, fear, and introspection. Repeatedly, politicians and writers felt themselves to be staring into the abyss and what is seen as an era of irritating self-belief was in fact obsessed with its own fragility, whether as a great power or as a moral force. Victorious Century is a comprehensive and extraordinarily stimulating history--its author catches the relish, humor and staginess of the age, but also the dilemmas faced by Britain's citizens, ones we remain familiar with today.
