Illustrated English Social History
Author: G. M. Trevelyan
Soft cover. Four volume boxed set. Fair condition.
Illustrated English Social History by G. M. Trevelyan is a richly illustrated, 4-volume account of everyday life in England from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century, written by one of Britain’s leading early twentieth-century historians. Rather than focusing narrowly on kings and battles, Trevelyan explores the social conditions, cultural practices, and lived experiences of ordinary people across successive eras—including medieval society under Chaucer, the age of Shakespeare and the Stuarts, the eighteenth century, and the transformative nineteenth century—bringing the past alive with narrative detail and abundant visual material such as maps, plates, and reproductions. His engaging prose aims to show how English society evolved over time, illuminating changes in work, family life, customs, and social structures in a way that is accessible to general readers as well as history enthusiasts.
