Richard Price here offers a radical new interpretation of modern British history. He argues that the period 1680 1880 was a distinct era in British history, a dynamic period of much change but which was ultimately contained within clearly defined boundaries. Professor Price thus identifies the nineteenth century as the end of this period rather than the moment of modernity. Elegantly written and lucidly organised, this study will be of value to all scholars and students with an interest in this fascinating period.
