`... compulsive reading ... providing a balanced appraisal of changing values and ideas in Victorian society with some close attention to political affairs, diplomatic history and imperialism. The author ... has produced a model work which brings the dead hand of the typical textbook writer to life: the student will surely enjoy the verve, pace and the occasional flourish.' - Times Education Supplement
