«The Birth of the Modern: World Society 1815-1830» is Paul Johnson's historical essay, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (1120 pages).
Paul Johnson reconstructs the period 1815-1830, when the foundations of the contemporary world were laid: the expansion of the United States, British industrialization, and Latin American independences. The essay crosses politics, economics, science, and culture, and illustrates it with figures such as Wellington, Bolívar, Beethoven, or Turner and the tension between reform and order.
The work was originally published in 1991; this Harper Perennial edition is from 1992 and the text is in English.
Recommended for readers interested in nineteenth-century world history, the historical essay, and the formation of the contemporary world.
