They built a nation. Now it's our turn.Many associate the Victorian era with austere social attitudes and filthy factories. But in this bold and provocative book Jacob Rees-Mogg -- leading Tory MP and prominent Brexit advocate -- takes up the story of twelve landmark figures to paint a very different picture of the age: one of bright ambition bold self-belief and determined industriousness.Whether through Peel's commitment to building free trade Palmerston's deft diplomacy in international affairs or Pugin's uplifting architectural feats the Victorians transformed the nation and established Britain as a preeminent global force.Now 200 years since the birth of Queen Victoria it is essential that we remember the spirit drive and values of the Victorians who forged modern Britain as we consider our future as a nation.
