The second volume of this history of the City of London looks at the years 1890 to 1914. At the time the City still retained some very Dickensian characteristics but even so, some things would still be recognised today. David Kynaston vividly brings to life the Stock Exchange and the City, which at the end of 1914 has no idea of the dramatic changes that were soon to take place. 16pp b/w plates.
Between 1890 and 1914 the City of London was all dominant as Britain's legendary gold standard reigned supreme across the globe. Golden Years anatomises an elite at the height of its powers.
