An oral history of the Edwardian age - the brief but vibrant years that ended the Victorian age and ushered in the Great War and today’s scientific world.

Max Arthur has established a reputation and a wide readership for his series of books telling the history of the First and Second World Wars through the voices of participants and eye-witnesses. Here he turns his attention to perhaps the most crucial age of modern history - the brief but glittering and vibrant Edwardian era that ended the long Victorian age and ushered in the modern world we still live in. Arthur’s hundreds of voices range across the whole spectrum of the Edwardian social scene, from miners and millworkers to farmhands and footballers. They describe the extraordianry technological change that transformed the world in a few short years - the arrival of the car, the plane, radio and the cinema; and the first stirrings of ther leisure and tourist industries. Illustrated with a remarkable range of previously unseen pictures and film stills, the book offers history we have not heard before.
