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 a 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 and The History of England series. He holds a CBE for services to literature and lives in London.
