The Age of Empire, 1875-1914 by E J Hobsbawm
This text is concerned with the strange death of the 19th century, the world made by and for the liberal middle classes in the name of universal progress and civilization. It is about hopes realised which turned into fear as an era of unparalled peace engendered an era of unparalled war.
Eric Hobsbawm was born in Alexandria in 1917 and was educated in Vienna, Berlin, London and Cambridge. A Fellow of the British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, with honorary degrees from universities in several countries, he taught until retirement at Birkbeck College, University of London, and since then at the New School for Social Research in New York. All his books have been translated into several languages.
