The Age of Oligarchy: Pre-Industrial Britain, 1722-1783

by Geoffrey S. Holmes, D. Szechi

The second volume, on early and mid-Georgian Britain, shows how the country used its expanding wealth, its new-found social cohesion at home and its international influence abroad to become not only a European but an imperial power. As with the first volume, every aspect of the period is covered.

[Lauren Albert · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm afraid I will give an especially boring review. It is a good, solid textbook on the period. I didn't give it the attention it deserved but I thought it did a good job of showing the politics especially.
