H. Plumb's England in the Eighteenth Century chronicles this dynamic period with masterful authority. Part of the celebrated Pelican History of England series, this volume presents a sweeping panorama of Georgian England, from the political intrigues of a constitutional monarchy still finding its footing to the thunderous social upheaval wrought by agricultural revolution, nascent industrialisation, and an ever-shifting class structure. Plumb introduces readers to a society simultaneously intoxicated by Enlightenment ideals and mired in poverty, corruption, and moral ambiguity — a tension that defined the age.\n\nPlumb writes with the precision of a scholar and the vivid clarity of a storyteller, uniting political narrative, economic analysis, and social history into a single, compelling argument: that the eighteenth century was nothing less than the crucible in which modern Britain was forged. His prose is lucid and authoritative, drawing on a commanding command of primary sources to illuminate the lives of both the powerful and the powerless. A landmark work of popular history, this volume leaves one wondering whether the contradictions of that turbulent century were ever truly resolved — or merely repackaged for the centuries that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216207487195,"sku":"2026200017525-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/de69bd45-e189-4125-b2b5-a7cd2627b590.png?v=1788405351","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017525-secondhand-england-in-the-eighteenth-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
