Description: Innovation brings Peter Ackroyd's History of England to a triumphant close. Ackroyd takes readers from the end of the Boer War and the accession of Edward VII to the end of the twentieth century when his great - granddaughter Elizabeth II had been on the throne for almost five decades. It was a century of enormous change encompassing two world wars four monarchs (Edward VII George V George VI and the Queen) the decline of the aristocracy and the rise of the Labour Party women's suffrage the birth of the NHS the march of suburbia and the clearance of the slums. It was a period that saw the work of the Bloomsbury Group and T. S. Eliot of Kingsley Amis and Philip Larkin from the end of the post - war slump to the technicolor explosion of the 1960s to free love and punk rock and from Thatcher to Blair. A vividly readable richly peopled tour de force Innovation is Peter Ackroyd writing at the height of his powers.
