Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a history of modern Britain, begins by charting the period of aristocratic domination from 1714 to 1742. The author then sheds light on the impressive era under William Pitt, before moving on to the turbulence of King George III's reign, against the backdrop of the loss and gain of America and the start of the Industrial Revolution. The author examines 18th-century history, challenging the common view that it was dull, and demonstrates how 18th-century events and developments laid the foundations for Britain's later greatness. This book is significant because it analyzes a substantial historical period, presenting a fresh view that will appeal to readers with an interest in seeing how contemporary Britain was shaped.
