In these seven volumes, published in 1908, Justin Mc Carthy takes on the contemporary history of England with an unbiased yet unflinching eye. This politically moderate, even-tempered work is an ambitious yet brilliant piece of history. The fifth volume begins in 1880 with the New Liberal Administration, and ends with the “Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria” and the cultural and parliamentary events of the year 1897.
