England Since Waterloo by Sir John Arthur Ransome Marriott (1859-1945) is a captivating historical narrative that first graced the shelves in 1913 and has seen many editions since. A historian with a long tenure at Worcester College, Oxford, and a Conservative MP for fifteen years, Marriott explores the pivotal moments that transformed Britain after Napoleons defeat. He artfully illustrates how the once-dominant French ruler could not impede English maritime supremacy and how Wellingtons brilliance led to his ultimate fall. This work vividly encapsulates the essence and challenges of 19th-century Britain, concluding with Queen Victorias death in 1901. Readers will journey through the rise of science and industry, the birth of democracy, and the expansion of the Empire in this sweeping account of domestic reform and imperial ambition. - Summary by Pamela NagamiCopyright Assorted Non Fiction Mondiale Politica e governo Scienza Scienze politiche Scienze sociali
