The Victorians: Illustrated Edition - Tapa dura

"The best single volume work on the Victorian age yet written." (Andrew Roberts Evening Standard)

"A magnificent achievement: plucky, engaged and full of awe at the way we continue to live out its inheritance today." (Katherine Hughes, The Guardian)

"It's hugely enjoyable, and you will undoubtedly learn something interesting about your own relationship to the past while reading it." (Independent on Sunday)

"A wonderfully percipient and well-written survey of an epoch...What more could anyone interested in Victorian history wish for." (Lord Blake, Literary Review)

"A.N. Wilson's The Victorians was the book he was born to write; it was evidently the product of decades of love for and familiarity with the period" (Philip Hensher Spectator)

The Victorians has been widely acclaimed as the classic single-volume history of the Victorian era. Now, in this illustrated edition, A.N. Wilson presents his magnificent portrait of the age alongside many enthralling images of the 19th-century lives that he pieced together - telling a story that is still unfinished in our own day.

This beautifully produced large-format hardback contains over 150 illustrations, including photographs, paintings, drawings and cartoons from the age.
