VICTORIAN ENGLAND

by G. M. Young ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

An expansion of the chapter Portrait of an Age from Early Victorian England to cover the whole Victorian era. An extraordinarily compact and searching study of the age, political, economic, social, intellectual, and withal intensely human. We see basically a quite different picture from the much tooted and satirized Victorian Age of literature and drama and art -- more liberal, more progressive, more alert to social awareness and demands than we are accustomed to expect. A first rate piece of analysis, scholarly and yet thoroughly readable.
