Description
A Telegraph and The Times Book of the Year 2024''There have been plenty of books on the Edwardians before, but never one as richly enjoyable as this'' Dominic Sandbrook, Book of the Week, Sunday Times''A page turner of a popular history'' Andrew Marr, New Statesman''The very best sort of panoramic portrait'' David KynastonWhen Queen Victoria died in 1901 it was the end of an era. Britain''s dominance stretched across seven continents and its ruling classes were wealthier than ever before. Many later remembered the decade or so that followed as the long afternoon of an empire where the sun never set. Yet the Edwardians themselves were acutely aware that the country was in a state of flux; the seismic change that they felt would transform modern Britain forever.In Little Englanders, Alwyn Turner reconsiders the Edwardian era as a time of profound social change, with the rise of women''s suffrage and the labour movement, unrest in Ireland and the Boer republics, scandals in parliament and culture wars at home. He tells the story of the Edwardians through music halls and male beauty contests, the real Peaky Blinders and the 1908 Summer Olympics. In this colourful, detailed and hugely entertaining social history, Turner shows that, though the golden Victorian age was in the past, the birth of modern Britain was only just beginning.
