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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his dazzling new book David Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of the British nineteenth century in all its energy and dynamism, darkness and vice. This was a country which saw itself at the summit of the world. And yet it was a society also convulsed by doubt, fear and introspection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictorious Century reframes a time at once strangely familiar and yet wholly unlike our own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37296362258585,"sku":"9780141019130","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780141019130.jpg?v=1606327511","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780141019130","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
