The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914: Heffer, Simon

The Age of Decadence by Simon Heffer is a gripping account of Britain's pre-First World War years, revealing the contradictions beneath the surface of a powerful nation.

Despite its vast empire and prosperity, Britain faced internal struggles and crises that threatened its very existence.

This book exposes the mismanagement of the Boer War, attempts to secure social reforms, and the disregard for women's suffrage.

It also delves into the degeneracy and scandal of the ruling class, as well as the national psyche's embrace of new technologies and art forms, while also nostalgically clinging to traditional values.

Through it all, Heffer masterfully weaves a tale of a nation on the brink of change, poised between the old and the new.
