SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2018 ` This is stupendous. The British nineteenth century, in all its complexity, all its horror, all its energy, all its hopes is laid bare. This is the definitive history, & will remain so for generations` A.N. Wilson To live in nineteenth-century Britain was to experience an astonishing series of changes, of a kind for which there was simply no precedent in the human experience. There were revolutions in transport, communication, work; cities grew vast; scientific ideas made the intellectual landscape unrecognizable. This was an exhilarating time, but also a horrifying one.

Victorious Century reframes a time at once strangely familiar & yet wholly unlike our own. ...
