Offers a stimulating introduction to fundamental social, political, and economic changes that took place in Great Britain from the late 18th century to the present day. Explores major factors governing events and reveals how and why Britain reached her peak as a great industrial power by 1850, the nature and extent of economic decline since the late Victorian period, and how the aristocratic British political system gave way to mass democracy with scarcely a protest. Concludes with an evaluation of dilemmas facing Britain at the end of this century. The author is a professor of modern British history at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
