Book Description
Secondhand. Near fine condition.
Final instalment of Simon Schama's acclaimed trilogy, covering the rise and fall of the British Empire, industrialisation, and major social changes.
Published in 2002, this 576-page work explores Britainâs transformation from a global imperial power to a post-imperial nation. It explores the Industrial Revolution, the Irish potato famine, the Indian Mutiny, and the rise of feminism. Focuses on figures such as Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill, while also featuring stories of ordinary individuals.
Through the military and economic shocks and traumas of our past, Schama asks the question that still haunts us: is the immense weight of our history a blessing or a curse, a gift or a millstone around the neck of our future?
Published to accompany the BBC television series, first broadcast in 2000.
