|title=High Minds: The Victorians and the Birth of Modern Britain
|author=Simon Heffer
|rating=4.5
|genre=History
|summary=Between 1840 and 1880 British life and society underwent a gradual but major change. Young adults in the latter year would have seen a very different country from that in which an earlier generation came to maturity. The land in which poverty, disease, squalor and injustice were endemic, and in which the Chartists had agitated for fairer rights for all, had been largely transformed by the modernising factors of social upheaval and industrial change.
