The inexorable rise of the middle-classes brushed aside outdated customs, etiquette and prejudices and powered the 'Reformation of Manners', a new system of social mores and rules for a fast-developing nation, and cities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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57697405043061,"sku":"9780747808374","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780747808374.jpg?v=1793095925","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.info\/products\/9780747808374","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
