Another World: 1897–1917 by Anthony Eden is a reflective memoir that captures the social and political atmosphere of Britain during the final years of the Victorian era through the First World War, as seen through the eyes of a future statesman. Eden intertwines personal recollections with broader historical commentary, offering insight into the values, institutions, and elite culture that shaped his early life and political sensibilities. The work is particularly notable for its evocation of a vanished world of aristocratic privilege and imperial confidence, which was irreversibly altered by the upheaval of war.
