More about the book
Exploring the intersection of Victorian culture and contemporary concerns, this collection of essays challenges the notion that the Victorian era is fundamentally opposed to modernity. It delves into various aspects, such as societal attitudes toward alcohol, the poetry of Browning, and notable events like the Great Exhibition and the story of the Elephant Man. By examining how Victorians navigated issues of truth, certainty, and identity, the essays reveal valuable insights that resonate with current anxieties and celebrations in our own society.
