Overview
This illustrated, accessible, and academically credible history of 19th- and 20th-century Glasgow introduces much original material and comprehensively integrates social, economic, cultural and political themes into the fascinating story of the city's rise, fall, and rise. Maver traces its position from the second city of the empire at the end of the 19th century through the industrial decline of the 20th century to a city of tourism, culture, and architecture in the 1990s.
Editorials
Margery McCulloch
Predominantly a political and economic history of the city...The significance of this new book is that it places Glasgow's story at the centre of the industrialization process which developed in Britain between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, when the city achieved the status of second city of the Empire.—Times Literary Supplement
