The Great Exhibition of 1851 is written by Jeffrey A. Auerbach and published by Yale University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0300080077 (ISBN 10) and 9780300080070 (ISBN 13).

"The book challenges the common view that the Exhibition symbolized peace, progress, prosperity, and the emergence of an industrial middle class. Auerbach suggests instead that the Great Exhibition became a cultural battlefield on which proponents of different visions of industrialization, modernization, and internationalism fought for ascendancy in the struggle for a new national identity."--BOOK JACKET.
