A Polite and Commercial People : England 1727-1783 Paperback / softback
by Paul (Professor of Modern History, Professor of Modern History, Lincoln College, Oxford) Langford
Part of the New Oxford History of England series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
