Written by a team of noted historians, these essays explore how ten
20th-century intellectuals and social reformers sought to adapt
such familiar Victorian values as "civilisation", "domesticity",
"conscience" and "improvement" to modern conditions of democracy,
feminism and mass culture. Covering such figures as J.M. Keynes,
E.M. Forster and Lord Reith of the BBC, these interdisciplinary
studies scrutinize the children of the Victorians at a time when
their private assumptions and public positions were under
increasing strain in a rapidly changing world. "After the
Victorians" is written in honour of the late Professor John Clive
of Harvard, and uses, as he did, the method of biography to
connnect the public and private lives of the generations who came
after the Victorians. Peter Mandler is also author of "Aristocratic
Government in the Age of Reform: Whigs and Liberals, 1830-1852",
and editor of "The Uses of Charity: The Poor on Relief in the 19th
Century Metropolis".
