Revolution by Peter Ackroyd
The fourth instalment in Peter Ackroyd's History of England series.
Ackroyd is a fascinating mix of a 19th-century narrative historian and modern social analystElements of thisbook seem very old-fashioned and formal - in a good way. Yet the author eschews the detached third person preferred by stuffy professionals, favouring instead a more intimate "you" that brings the reader into the dark alleys of industrial towns to sniff the urine, vomit and suppurating sores of industrial England. Those perfect sentences are scattered throughout. -- Gerard DeGroot * The Times *
