内容説明

Drawing on up-to-date research, this volume in The New Oxford History of England is the most authoritative and comprehensive general history of England between the accession of George II and the loss of the American colonies. Delving beneath the surface serenity of the age of elegance, Paul Langford reveals a world of simmering discontent in which evangelical enthusiasm clashed with scientific rationalism, aristocratic government with popular insubordination, industrial and imperial expansion with plebian poverty, and sentimentality with utilitarian reform.

内容説明

This is a general history of England between the accession of George II and the loss of America. The author demonstrates that, though conventionally seen as static and politically stable, the 18th century was an age of vitality and variety. While rapid commercial growth and bourgeois pretensions gave rise to the positive achievements of military success and imperial expansion, tensions and contradictions threatened this success. The author's aim is to demonstrate that the 18th century was strengthened and stretched by the changes to which it was subjected.
