Part of The Making of the Modern World series, this innovative textbook offers an introduction to the 19th-century world with a focus on human perspectives through social and cultural histories. Taking a period of great transition and change, it shows how the actions and experiences of different communities and individuals across the world constructed, contested and were affected by major trends and events. With a thematic approach, and focusing on social and cultural histories, it connects these major trends and events to experiences of the people who lived through them.

Tackling politics, religion, economics, environment, empire and more, with this book students will critically encounter important global trends and key events from the Industrial Revolution, to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the dawn of the First World War. This fully revised second edition includes updated historiography throughout plus:

- A new chapter on mobility and migration
- Expanded discussion on the interplay between imperialism and the environment
- New further reading sections and notes at the end of each chapter
- A primary source and interlude section in each chapter to provide historical context
- Additional maps and images

The Long Nineteenth Century, 1750-1914 offers an introduction to this era of global transformation and the crucible of modernity.
