{"product_id":"the-victorians","title":"The Victorians","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dramatic  revisionist panorama of an age whose material triumphs and spiritual crises prefigure our own. The nineteenth century saw greater changes than any previous era: in the ways nations and societies were organized  in scientific knowledge  and in nonreligious intellectual development. The crucial players in this drama were the British  who invented both capitalism and imperialism and were incomparably the richest  most important investors in the developing world. In this sense  Englands position has strong resemblances to Americas in the late twentieth century.  As one of our most accomplished biographers and novelists  A. N. Wilson has a keen eye for a good story  and in this spectacular work he singles out those writers  statesmen  scientists  philosophers  and soldiers whose lives illuminate so grand and revolutionary a history: Darwin  Marx  Gladstone  Christina Rossetti  Gordon  Cardinal Newman  George Eliot  Kipling. Wilsons accomplishment in this book is to explain through these signature lives how Victorian England started a revolution that still hasnt ended. 65 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945514037301,"sku":"ByrdShop_0393325431","price":28.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780393325430.jpg?v=1770327684","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-victorians","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
