The Forging of the Modern State by Eric Evans

The Forging of the Modern State by Eric Evans

In this hugely ambitious history of Britain, Eric Evans surveys every aspect of the period in which the country was transformed into the world’s first industrial power. This was an era of revolutionary change unparalleled in Britain, yet one in which transformation was achieved without political revolution. The unique combination of transition and revolution is a major theme in the book, which ranges across the embryonic empire, the Church, education, health, finance, and rural and urban life. Evans gives particular attention to the Great Reform Act of 1832. The Third Edition includes an entirely new introductory chapter, and is illustrated for the first time.

'Evans's elegant and fluent treatment is quite superb' Times Educational Supplement

"as a textbook it is a model of its kind, clearly written and well set out for ease of use" Edward Royle, English Historical Reviewv

Eric J. Evans is Professor of History at Lancaster University and the author of a number of seminal books on eighteenth and nineteenth century history.
