Discusses the evolution of European economics, politics, arts, sciences, and cultural life from the height of the industrial revolution to the First World War.

Preceded by The Age of Revolution, 1789-1848 (1962) and The Age of Capital, 1848-1875 (1975), this completes Hobsbawm's probing analysis of the forces that shaped and defined the 19th century. His approach continues to be thematic rather than chronological; geographical scope is global but with decided emphasis on European and American developments. Hobsbawm moves skillfully through a variety of topics, e.g., the roots of feminism, scientific change, the rise of the working class, and the race for overseas acquisitions. Hobsbawn's Marxist orientation is never dominant or obtrusive. Though not easy to read, The Age of Empire , like its companions, will stand the test of time. Mark R. Yerburgh, Trinity Coll . Lib., Burlington, Vt.
