He challenges the dominant assumption that the nineteenth century marked the beginning of modern Britain. British Society argues on the contrary that nineteenth-century British society was the extension of an earlier era whose main themes first appeared in the late seventeenth century and which continued to shape the social, economic and political history of the country until the end of the nineteenth century. This book casts light on the main themes of economic, political and social history, and offers alternative interpretations on questions and issues that are central to the history of modern Britain. It follows in the great tradition of works such as Briggs's Age of Improvement, and Perkin's Origins of Modern English Society, and will be of enormous interest to all students and scholars of the period. 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic conditions$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 676 $a306/.0942 700 $aPrice$b Richard$f1944-$01660344 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811676003321 996 $aBritish society, 1680-1880$94015475 997 $aUNINA
