‘The persistent myth depicts the Edwardian era as a long and leisurely afternoon. In fact, the years between Queen Victoria’s death and the outbreak of the First World World War were a watershed in British history – not an interlude that separated the old and new worlds, but the time when a modern nation was born. The Edwardians witnessed the world changing around them.’
Book condition: Very Good
