Synopsis

Looking at the historical evolution of the central political institutions, and the social milieu surrounding them, this book helps to explain Britain's preeminence during the nineteenth century. The political history of the country--a substantial part of the book--provides the necessary foundation for a social history that focuses particularly on issues of demography, religion, social class, and gender.

Media Reviews
There is something refreshing about this approach-that students actually learn something about how the British Cabinet system works, for instance...very useful for students...Rubinstein has written an honest...useful...textbook for students taking nineteenth-century British history courses. -- Teaching History

The discussion of Britain's industrial supremacy...is clear and up to date with recent research in the field, but the strength of this book lies with the author's brief and interesting biographical sketches of ministers and monarchs....an interesting book, a valuable successor to the older Oxford volumes by E.L. Woodward and R.C.K. Ensor covering the same period. -- Albion
