The inexorable rise of the middle-classes brushed aside outdated customs, etiquette and prejudices and powered the ''Reformation of Manners'', a new system of social mores and rules for a fast-developing nation, and cities were planned to benefit from careful lighting and green spaces. This period, accessibly described here by Lorna Coventry, was a tremendous step towards a recognizably modern Britain, giving us our first novels and, following the Great Fire, London districts through which we walk to this day.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359142904151,"sku":"9780747808374","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/early-eighteenthcentury-britain-17001739-shire-living-histories-9780747808374","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
