English Social History - A Survey of Six Centuries - Chaucer to Queen Victoria

G.M. Trevelyan maintains that Social history is "the history of a people with the politics left out". In this book, he paints an authentic picture of everyday English life over six varied centuries up until 1901, capturing every great ebb and flow of the social changes that took place in this country. This fascinating book is highly recommended for those with an interest in English history, and it would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. George Macaulay Trevelyan (1876 - 1962) was a British historian and academic. Other notable works by this author include: "Garibaldi and the Making of Italy" (1911), "The Life of John Bright" (1913), and "Clio, A Muse and Other Essays" (1913). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
