The fifth instalment in Peter Ackroyds acclaimed and bestselling six-volume History of England.
A masterful assessment of a period that saw change in every area of life * History Revealed *

Ackroyd makes history accessible to the layman -- Ian Thomson * Independent *
Ackroyd is a fascinating mix of a nineteenth-century narrative historian and modern social analyst -- Gerard de Groot * The Times *
Ackroyd’s trademark insight and wit, and the glorious interconnectedness of all things, permeate each page * Observer *
Ackroyd writes with such lightly worn erudition and a deceptive ease that he never fails to engage * Daily Telegraph *
