A major scholarly history of late Victorian and Edwardian England, A New England? by G. R. Searle is a substantial volume in The New Oxford History of England series. Covering the years 1886–1918, the book explores a transformative period in British history, from high imperial confidence and social change through to political crisis and the First World War.
Searle’s study is noted for its breadth, combining political history with social, cultural, and economic themes. The contents include sections on nationalism, class, gender, religion, and mass society, making it an especially useful reference for readers interested in the wider character of English life before and during the Great War. The volume also includes illustrative material, with black-and-white photographic plates that enrich the text and provide period context.
An excellent research and reference copy for historians, students, and collectors of modern British history, especially those building the New Oxford History of England set.
