This book is taken from a series which encourages the young reader to deduce how our ancestors lived from a study of the primary evidence which has survived to this day or which has been unearthed by archaeologists. Each title focuses on a specific period in British history and uses colour photographs of artefacts and remains, backed up detailed artists reconstructions, to provide an authentic picture of everyday life in a bygone time. This particular work discusses life in 19th century Britain, based on the material surviving from Queen Victoria's reign. British society underwent rapid and radical change during Victoria's reign. At the start Britain had an agrarian-based economy reliant on hand and horse-power; by the turn of the century, Britannia ruled the waves in iron and steel ships, her mechanized factories were the workshops of the world, and her educated workforce day-tripped to the seaside in steam-driven trains. In this book the author discusses the impact of this revolution on the rich and the poor with the help of material that has survived from Victorian times. The author has written several other titles in this series including "Saxon Britain", "Tudor Britain" and "Viking Britain".
