Index
Britain in the 1 840s was a country wracked by
poverty, unrest and uncertainty, where there were
attempts to assassinate the Queen and her prime
minister, and the ruling class lived in fear of riot and
revolution. By the 1 880s it was a confident nation
of progress and prosperity, transformed not just by
industrialisation but by new attitudes to politics,
education, women and the working class. That it
should have changed so radically was very largely the
work of an astonishingly dynamic and high-minded
group of people — politicians and philanthropists,
writers and thinkers — who in a matter of decades
fundamentally remade the country, its institutions
and its mindset, and laid the foundations for
modern society.
Simon Eteffer’s major new book explores this process
of transformation. It traces the evolution of British
democracy. It shows how early laissez-faire attitudes
to the lot of the less fortunate turned into campaigns
to improve their lives and prospects. It analyses the
birth of new approaches to education, religion and
science. And it reveals how even such aesthetic issues
as taste in architecture were swept in to broader
debates about the direction that the country should
take. In the process, Simon Heffer looks at the lives
and deeds of major politicians, from the devout and
principled Gladstone to the unscrupulous Disraeli;
at the intellectual arguments that raged among
writers and thinkers such as Iviatthew Arnold,
Thomas Carlyle and Samuel Butler; and at the ‘great
projects5 of the age, from the Great Exhibition to
the Albert Memorial. Drawing heavily on previously
unpublished documents, he offers a superbly nuanced
insight into life in an extraordinary era, populated by
extraordinary people — and shows how our forebears’
pursuit of perfection gave birth to modern Britain.
