Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper and Row, 1966. first US edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight./DJ VG: edge and corner wear, age toning, not clipped. 8vo 272pp. stated first edition. from front flap: "James Laver here considers the paradoxical period between the social and political revolutions of 1848 and the death of optimism in 1914. He describes the corruption of France under Napoleon III and the hypocrisy of "Victorian" England and America, where prudery and excess flourished side by side. Millionaires banqueted with vineleaves in their hair; prostitution and the white slave traffic reached astounding proportions, and the poor lived in unspeakable circumstances. The world was shocked by the behavior of Amelia Bloomer and Cora Pearl, of Crown Prince Rudolf and Edward VII, by the plays of Ibsen and Bernard Shaw, but was content to ignore the slums of the big cities." #02087.
