This, the first volume in the new Palgrave History of Britain series, is a tour de force. Jeremy Black builds a picture of eighteenth-century society and polity distinguished by its range, diversity of example, and engaging freshness of style. Students will find this an invaluable guide to the period, and others will enjoy the lightness of touch with which a formidable body of knowledge is deployed.
