This book looks at reform in 19th Century Britain through the eyes of newspaper articles of that time. It covers industrial, social and political reform, allowing the reader to get a feel for how change was greeted by people at the time. Events such as the Great Reform Act, the abolition of slavery, changes in the status of women, the Factory Reform Acts and much more are covered. Each article is supported by context setting text and by an evaluation box which critically evaluates the article as a piece of historical evidence.
