Paul Johnson's work covers the fifteen years of gestation of the modern world (1815-1830), recounting the history of people, ideas, politics, morals, economics, art, science and technology, diplomacy, literature and revolution. It is a portrait of a period of immense changes that saw the United States emerge as a formidable nation, Great Britain become the first industrial power, and Russia develop the fatal currents that would consolidate in the 20th century. It also covers the independence of Latin America and the beginning of modernity in the Middle East, the Balkans and Southeast Asia. An era of inventions, ideas and technological advances, in which important personalities such as Delacroix, Constable, Jane Austen, Bolívar, Goethe, Hegel, Beethoven, Byron, Shelley, Keats and Victor Hugo lived.
Paul Bede Johnson was a British journalist, popular historian, speechwriter and author. Although associated with the political left in his early career, he became a popular conservative historian.
