Liberty and Authority in Victorian Britain
Victorian Britain is often considered as the high point of laissez-faire, the place and the time when people were most free to make their own lives without the aid or interference of the State. This book, by leading historians of nineteenth-century state and society, asks to what extent that was true and, to the extent that it was, how it worked.
