Distant Strangers: How Britain Became Modern

In Distant Strangers, James Vernon argues that the world became modern not because of revolution, industrialization, or the Enlightenment.
Instead, he shows how a new, distinctly modern social condition emerged in Britain by the mid-19th century. Rapid and sustained population growth, combined with increasing human mobility and urban concentration, created a society of strangers.
Vernon explores how people in modern societies adapted to life among strangers, forming more abstract and anonymous economic, social, and political relationships, and reviving the local and the personal.
