Inhaltsangabe:

The Victorian era was a time of unprecedented transformation, yet it is often understood only through the stereotypes of crowded factories, child labour and emotional repression. In this entertaining and scholarly introduction, Dr David Gange explores the political, social and economic realities that defined life for Victorian people.

Weaving together the perspectives of historians and literary scholars with movements in art, science and ethics, Gange paints a colourful, interdisciplinary portrait of everyday life in nineteenth century Britain. The Victorians: A Beginner's Guide features such famous figures as Dickens and Disraeli, while offering a thought-provoking examination of how our perceptions of this pivotal period of history have changed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Dr David Gange is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Birmingham. His work has been featured on the BBC, Smithsonian Television, at the Hay Festival and in the Times Literary Supplement.
