Smudges on text block edges; black line on bottom text block near spine-possible remainder mark.. Dust jacket very good; not price clipped. * From the jacket flap, "". . . the history of an era rather like our own - a time when dissenters and rebels were hemmed in by conformists and hardheaded authoritarians, a time when a nation on the eve of global domination fretted about its future. It was, however, an era when those who argued that a British empire would be a disaster for liberty were eventually squashed by imperialists, just as those who railed against mindless materialism were in the end rolled over by imperialists, just as those who railed against mindless materialism were in the end rolled over by industrialists and the promoters of luxury goods. . . . reveals an era when people were obsessed with the need to appear authentic, and yet forever had doubts about who was and who wasn't - concerns familiar to the ""me"" age we know so well. . . . .""
Sinopsis
The Victorians are remembered for their propriety and stolid middle-class manners—in sharp contrast to the libertine spirit of Byron, Shelley, and the Romantics of the generation just prior. In The Making of Victorian Values, Ben Wilson—only in his twenties but already hailed in Britain as heir to the great radical historians of the twentieth century—offers a brilliant and provocative portrayal of how rebels and dissenters were quashed by authoritarians and imperialists and how mindless materialism and capitalism rolled over them all. In so doing, Wilson's eloquently written account also illuminates the startling parallels between the pre- Victorian era and our own.
