A landmark first book by the leading Tory MP, Brexiteer and social media phenomenon Jacob Rees-Mogg, published for the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth
Jacob Rees-Mogg is a Conservative and the MP for the constituency of North East Somerset. Jacob sits on the Brexit Select Committee and he chairs the European Research Group. After Eton, Jacob read History at Trinity College, Oxford, before moving into finance. He co-founded Somerset Capital Management, which specialises in emerging markets investment management.
A full-throated, clear-sighted, well-researched and extremely well
written exposition of the Victorians and their values. Rees-Mogg’s
choice of a dozen Victorian luminaries allows him to defend an era
too often ignored or written off in British history, and to compare
it to our modern day in a way that readers will find gripping but
also chastening
