Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. Collins / Victorian Book Club, 1970; 1st edn. with dust cover in very fine condition; olive cloth in mint condition; 256pp with index, illustrations on almost every page. The Victorian age produced perhaps the finest flowering of novelists of any age. How did they, their contemporaries and the visitors from abroad react to the society in which they lived? How did society change between 1837 and 1901? What was their attitude to such topics as the hideous poverty which could lurk only a street away from upper class comforts, to the coming of the railways, the new industrial cities, the complicated class system, the passionate feelings about religion? To appreciate the Victorian novel it is essential to know something of the background: of the nuances of class distinction that exist between Trollope's landowners and the Grossmiths' city clerk, Mr Pooter, the differences between High Church and Low Church, and the horror that the workhouse held for the poor. Gillian Avery answers these questions by using novels of such writers as Dickens, Trollope, Mrs Gaskell, Gissing, Disraeli, and Charles Kingsley; the comments of French and American visitors, and also those of the less privileged and articulate members of society, the farm labourers and the city poor. 8/75x5½"......We ship daily from our Bookshop.
