Samenvatting	Roy Porter's new book is a vast celebration of the pace and vitality of Georgian Britain - the true crucible of change in the world. Porter makes a resounding case for this liberal, hedonistic society - so different from the febrile, desiccated coterie of French philosophies and so different too from its puritan Victorian successor. For generations the traditional focus for those wishing to understand the roots of the modern world has been France on the eve of the Revolution. Porter certainlyacknowledges France's importance, but here makes an overwhelming case for considering Britain the true home of modernity - a country driven by an exuberance, diversity and power of invention comparable only to twentieth-century America.
