The Victorians: Twelve Titans who Forged Britain

"On 23 May this year, the day of the European elections that were never supposed to happen, Jacob Rees-Mogg, member of parliament and the presiding genius of the anti-EU European Reform Group, published his first book, The Victorians: Twelve Titans who Forged Britain . The book has been widely panned as “staggeringly silly” and very bad history. But Rees-Mogg is not really writing history, he’s got completely carried away by his political axe. His book is history as half-veiled self-portrait and half-veiled election address. Its real, unwritten title is: Jacob Rees-Mogg, 21st Century Titan ."
