About this audiobook
The Birth of the Victorian Age explores the dramatic transformation of Britain at the moment Queen Victoria came to the throne. Beginning with the final years of the Georgian era, this volume traces the political, social, industrial, and royal foundations of one of the most influential periods in modern history. From Victoria's guarded childhood at Kensington Palace to her accession, early court, relationship with Lord Melbourne, marriage to Prince Albert, and the creation of a new image of monarchy, the book reveals how a young queen became the symbol of a changing nation.
Set against the rise of factories, expanding cities, parliamentary reform, working-class hardship, the Poor Law, and Chartism, this first volume presents Victorian Britain as a world of ambition, anxiety, progress, and contradiction. It shows how monarchy, industry, politics, poverty, and public opinion came together to shape the beginning of an age that would transform Britain and influence the modern world.
