Publisher's Synopsis
The original classic history book by M. B. Synge is now available in this reprint edition from Blue Sky Daisies. Completely re-typset and annotated, Synge's survey of the Victorian Era covers major events in the British Empire from the Accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 to her death in 1901. The British Empire vastly expanded during Victoria's long reign. Synge gives 21st century readers the perspective of a British historian (Fellow, Royal Historical Society) reflecting on this era just as the Great War was upending the world. Originally published in 1919; now available with additional annotations.
