Description

David Cannadine's unique history examines the British preoccupation with class and the different ways the British have thought about their own society. From the eighteenth through the twentieth century, he traces the different ways British society has been viewed, unveiling the different purposes each model has served. This is a social, intellectual and political history and a powerful account of how and why class has shaped British identity.

Description

Britain has been described as the most classridden society under the sun. Cannadine sets out to banish the ignorance surrounding class and people's views on class by looking at how different generations have viewed it from the 18th century to the 20th.
