19th Century Reform by Nathaniel Harris

19th Century Reform by Nathaniel Harris

This book looks at reform in 19th Century Britain through the eyes of newspaper articles of that time. It covers industrial, social and political reform, allowing the reader to get a feel for how change was greeted by people at the time. Events such as the Great Reform Act, the abolition of slavery, changes in the status of women, the Factory Reform Acts and much more are covered. Each article is supported by context setting text and by an evaluation box which critically evaluates the article as a piece of historical evidence.

'The evaluation of each newspaper report as an historical document here makes these books useful tools for early to mid-teens getting into the swing of appraising the information presented to them in a critical and objective manner' -- Evening Echo 20030201 'This book would be a useful addition to a secondary school's history collection.' -- The School Librarian 20030801

Nathaniel Harris taught history at secondary level for many years. He is an experienced writer of history books for young people, specializing in the modern era.
