Reseña del editor:
Who were the major figures that shaped English society at this time of industrial triumph, pioneering engineering, a mighty British Empire, social decorum and a quite remarkable Queen? Who put their hearts and souls, their blood and sweat, their guts and determination into this age, so that their reputations would shine through into the present - and be ironclad for the future? "Movers and Shakers of Victorian England" holds the answers. With chapters on such subjects as Artists and Muses, Inspired Inventors and Literary Legends, it is an entertaining historical primer - a literary penny-farthing for a ride through time. These resolute and determined pages will introduce you to: the artistically obsessive Edward Burne-Jones; the big players in the British Empire; the inventor of the sugar-processing machine - who had also worked out how to mass produce steel!; the founder of the Raleigh bicycle firm; the discoverer of the electron; and, the man who almost beat the Wright Brothers.
