First published in 1978, this book explores everyday Victorian
likes and dislikes, manners, fashions, ideals and illusions. It
discusses their changing attitudes to women, children, the poor,
the common soldier and their country. It explains the rise and fall
of home entertainment, the growth of soccer, racing and cricket to
national sports, the rise of public schools and new professions as
well as the appeal of missionary work. It is argued that all this
happened not because the Victorians were fools, hypocrites or
villains, but because they sensibly adapted themselves to peculiar
and novel circumstances. This title will be of interest to students
of history.
