- Summary
- "The reign of Queen Victoria, which ran from 1837 to 1901, saw not only the zenith of the British Empire, a time of dynamic expansionism coupled with massive national self-confidence, but also great changes in the fabric of Britain as resourceful Victorians transformed the face of the country. They built railways with cathedral-like stations; mighty bridges and viaducts; great trading ships; a wealth of imposing buildings from palatial factories, banks, country houses and seaside piers to schools, hospitals and prisons; and, in an age when death was always nearby, cemeteries and mausoleums." "This book shows all these aspects and more as Michael Jenner conveys in words and photographs the character of a remarkable age."--Jacket.
