Globalization and the Great Exhibition: The Victorian New World Order - Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture
Paul Young
This book examines the Great Exhibition as a decisive moment in the formation of a capitalist world picture. In so doing it foregrounds a vision of peace and progress which took hold of British society, within the Crystal Palace and beyond. It emphasizes too that this Victorian understanding of global order legitimized imperial ambition.
