Wayland Publishers, Gray's Inn Road, London 1974 Hardcover, 29cms x 22cms, with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket The Edwardian era - the years between Queen Victoria's death in 1901 and the outbreak of war in 1914 - formed a strange interlude between the nineteenth century and the modern world. Edwardian society showed extraordinary contrasts - between the fabulously rich and the pitifully poor, the pomp of King and Empire and the drab ugliness of city slums and rural poverty. Christopher Martin provides a fresh and convincing study of this uneasy but colourful period. Four pages of colour illustrations and dozens of b&w ones.
