Omschrijving
The fifth instalment in Peter Ackroyd’s acclaimed and bestselling six-volume History of England.
A masterful assessment of a period that saw change in every area of life
It is Ackroyd’s depiction of an anxious society in the grip of rapid change – industrialisation, fast urbanisation, the impact of the railway and the electric telegraph – that is the most riveting … fascinating
Ackroyd makes history accessible to the layman
Ackroyd is a fascinating mix of a nineteenth-century narrative historian and modern social analyst
Ackroyd’s trademark insight and wit, and the glorious interconnectedness of all things, permeate each page
Ackroyd writes with such lightly worn erudition and deceptive ease that he never fails to engage
Peter Ackroyd is an award-winning novelist, as well as a broadcaster, biographer, poet and historian. He is the author of the acclaimed non-fiction bestsellers Thames: Sacred River and London: The Biography. He holds a CBE for services to literature and lives in London.
