[Kevin Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basically a brief overview of Victorian life with emphasis on social class and professions.

[Hansi Berlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very detailed and very informative. This book does a good job of capturing both how England was changing and why, which makes it a good source.

[Clinton Dove · Rating 3 out of 5]

Glad I did not have to live in those times. Was interesting to see how people coped.

[Rogue Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

Concise topical history of England in the 1800s, with a nice progression from abject poverty to the working and middle classes.
