Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the transformation of London society since the start of Queen Victoria's reign until the present day. The author shows how the death of Prince Albert and the subsequent seclusion of the Queen marked an epoch of change, transforming social structures in the city. The court was no longer the focal point of society, and the mourning period was the beginning of a wider democratization of society, as self-made men, politicians, and industrialists rose in prominence and influence. The book also examines the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the steam-powered railways that brought London into close contact with surrounding areas for the first time. This book gives a rich overview of the changes that have reshaped polite society and offers keen insights into the forces that have brought London to its current cosmopolitan state.
