Dominion was a good final book in Peter Ackroyd’s History of England series. It was really interesting reading this book, both as a book on its own and as a wrap-up to the series. I learned a lot about some of the intricacies of the time period between Waterloo and Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, and it was a nice learning period. It’s a nice little touch that the books can be, in a way, stand alone books while also being a series. You don’t need to read the other books, and you don’t need to read them in order, but the other books definitely help. ( ) Well, I now come to the end of Dominion. I enjoyed the earlier volumes of Ackroyd's History of England. But this is at least 2/3 Victorian parlementary politics. I had no idea of it before, and no understanding of it now. I even went to the extent of reading The Importance of being Ernest in an attempt to understand at least some nonpolitical parts of this book, but I have to admit that I do not see the humour alleged. I gave 2 stars to each of these books. I must be in a generous mood. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
