The Victorians : a beginner's guide
Gange, David2016
Book
The Victorian period is crucial to any understanding of modern Britain, yet it is frequently understood only through the crude stereotypes of emotional repression, factories, child labour and the pursuit of progress at all costs. Exploring how these stereotypes relate to the realities of such a rich and diverse age, David Gange introduces aspects of political, social, cultural and economic history that defined life for Victorian people. In combining the all too often separated perspectives of the period's historians and literary scholars with the themes of empire, science and ethics, he provides an accessible and wide-ranging, interdisciplinary survey of the era.
