The Age of Empire

by Eric Hobsbawm

✓ Read

Originally The Age of Empire: 1875–1914

This text is concerned with the strange death of the 19th century, the world made by and for the liberal middle classes in the name of universal progress and civilization. It is about hopes realised which turned into fear as an era of unparalled peace engendered an era of unparalled war.
