Synopsis
Excerpt from Lesser Questions
Shadowy, with the passing of the first Reform Bill. It is surely true, however, that no time has been so full Of interest, SO replete with events and discoveries which have influenced the character Of our people and the trend Of our history, than the last sixty years. The great political struggle was over. Reform changed the polity Of the country. Our industrial system had been newly equipped with steam practically applied. We need not now enter into any Of the profound causes which influenced our life and country and have brought about the complex problems of our modern life. Still, it may be inter esting to indicate some of the contrasts between now and eighty years ago. The whole gigantic system of railways in England, the development Of the Press, the cheapening Of every article Of daily want, the application Of machinery to industrial works, - these are a few Of the momentous changes. That which has affected us more than any other was the introduction Of railways in the facility they gave for rapid communi cation and for bringing every part Of the country Into personal contact with the others.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the transformation of London society since the start of Queen Victoria's reign until the present day. The author shows how the death of Prince Albert and the subsequent seclusion of the Queen marked an epoch of change, transforming social structures in the city. The court was no longer the focal point of society, and the mourning period was the beginning of a wider democratization of society, as self-made men, politicians, and industrialists rose in prominence and influence. The book also examines the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the steam-powered railways that brought London into close contact with surrounding areas for the first time. This book gives a rich overview of the changes that have reshaped polite society and offers keen insights into the forces that have brought London to its current cosmopolitan state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
