drbobcornwall's review against another edition
5.0
This is an extremely readable, enjoyable exploration of British history running from the Restoration of Monarchy in 1660 to the early years of Queen Victoria's reign. The book covers politics, economics, social movements, and for me of great importance -- religion. Many general histories of Britain fail to give religion its due as a social/cultural force, but such is not the case here. Bill Gibson has focused his attention -- in other books -- on British religion, and that knowledge shows here.
