A Polite and Commercial People
Résumé
The feel-good place to buy books
A Polite and Commercial People by Paul Langford
Drawing on up-to-date research, this volume in The New Oxford History of England is the most authoritative and comprehensive general history of England between the accession of George II and the loss of the American colonies. Delving beneath the surface serenity of the age of elegance, Paul Langford reveals a world of simmering discontent in which evangelical enthusiasm clashed with scientific rationalism, aristocratic government with popular insubordination, industrial and imperial expansion with plebian poverty, and sentimentality with utilitarian reform.
..fascinating...carried through with great skill and clarity...the summaries of historical controversies are judicious and well-informed * Observer *
