The Forging of the Modern State by Eric Evans

The Forging of the Modern State by Eric Evans

This famous book surveys every aspect of the period in which Britain was transformed into the world's first industrial power. It was an era of revolutionary change unparalleled in Britain - yet that change was achieved without political revolution. This combination of revolution and transition is a central theme of the book. This major new edition is fully revised to take account of recent scholarship and fresh perspectives on the period. The recasting of Part Two (on the industrial revolution and its consequences) has been particularly extensive; the bibliography has been enlarged and brought up to date; and there is increased emphasis on British as opposed to English perspectives throughout.

'Evans's elegant and fluent treatment of the topics within his chosen period is often quite superb' Times Educational Supplement, "This text continues to serve undergraduate students well and compares favourably with any survey of this kind. Working in a period dense with complexity and contradiction, Evans has conveyed a coherent and lucid account of the times. To this he has added a blend of interpretation leavened by recent scholarship that he treats both fairly and yet critically. All of this is couched in a prose that sparkles with deft turns of phrase and provocative insights. This is a welcome addition to bookshelves." "Albion"
