Distant Strangers: How Britain Became Modern
19.99 €
In basket
In Distant Strangers, James Vernon argues that the world did not become modern through revolution, industrialization, or the Enlightenment.
Instead, he shows how a new, distinctly modern social condition emerged in Britain by the mid-nineteenth century. Rapid and sustained population growth, combined with the increasing mobility of people and their concentration in cities, created a society of outsiders.
Vernon explores how people in modern societies adapted to life among strangers, forming more abstract and anonymous economic, social, and political relationships, and revitalizing the local and the personal.
