The Victorians

People, not abstract ideas, make history, and nowhere is this more revealed than in A. N. Wilson's superb portrait of the Victorians, in which hundreds of different lives have been pieced together to tell a story - one which is still unfinished in our own day. The 'global village' is a Victorian village and many of the ideas we take for granted, for good or ill, originated with these extraordinary, self-confident people. What really animated their spirit, and how did they remake the world in their view? In an entertaining and often dramatic narrative, A. N. Wilson shows us remarkable people in the very act of creating the Victorian age.Author: Wilson, A.N.,author Contributors: Wilson, A.N.,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 738 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Reprint Published/Release Date: 4 Sep 2003 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Cornerstone Author/Director/Artist: A.N.
