T. K. Derry and T. L. Jarman chart the dramatic transformation of British society across nearly two centuries, examining the lives and working conditions of ordinary men and women against the grand backdrop of empire, revolution, and technological change. The narrative moves with scholarly precision through the great landmarks of modern British history — the Industrial Revolution, the Reform Acts, two World Wars, and the birth of the welfare state — bringing each era to vivid life.\n\nWritten with the clarity and confidence of seasoned historians, the work balances political narrative with rich social detail, illuminating how the rhythms of daily life — work, family, class, and community — shifted irrevocably under the pressures of modernity. Derry and Jarman's collaborative voice is both accessible and rigorous, making this an ideal volume for students and general readers alike. A testament to the enduring drama of Britain's modern age, it leaves the reader asking what forces, still unresolved, continue to shape the island nation today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216196018395,"sku":"2026200014508-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/78a50269-dff7-4d58-8643-4a1d7c1f32cc.png?v=1788405067","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014508-secondhand-the-making-of-modern-britain-life-and-work-from-george-iii-to-elizabeth-ii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
