'Never anything less than an engaging, clear and thoroughly appetising scholarly introduction to the "multiple identities in fragile balance" that characterised the Victorian era'., This is undoubtedly the best single volume on Victorian culture and history out there - and not just for beginners. It is wide-ranging, incisive, smart, generous to other scholars and beautifully conceived: it will be integral to a generation of students' understanding of the era., 'Beautifully written, erudite and evocative... Whether you're a seasoned reader or a new student, this work has much to offer and is the best introduction available to the Victorians and their worlds.', I own a shelf full of introductions to the Victorians, but this one is unquestionably the best. The Victorians: A Beginner's Guide covers all the key issues and topics in a lively, engaging, and authoritative manner. It also has the incomparable advantage of being written by one of the very best scholars in the field.

Synopsis
The Victorian period is crucial to any understanding of modern Britain, yet it is frequently understood only through the crude stereotypes of emotional repression, factories, child labor and the pursuit of progress at all costs. They reveal part of the truth but not all. Exploring how these stereotypes relate to the realities of such a rich and diverse period, Dr. David Gange introduces readers to the aspects of political, social, cultural and economic history that defined life for Victorian people. In combining the all too often separated perspectives of the period's historians and literary scholars with the themes of empire, science and ethics, he provides a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary survey of the era. Featuring famous figures ranging from Dickens to Disraeli and introducing the ideas of major interpreters, The Victorians: A Beginner's Guide is an accessible guide to a fascinating period and a thought-provoking examination of how our perceptions of it have changed over time., The Victorian era was a time of unprecedented transformation, yet it is often understood only through the stereotypes of crowded factories, child labour and emotional repression. In this entertaining and scholarly introduction, Dr David Gange explores the political, social and economic realities that defined life for Victorian people. Weaving together the perspectives of historians and literary scholars with movements in art, science and ethics, Gange paints a colourful, interdisciplinary portrait of everyday life in nineteenth century Britain. The Victorians: A Beginner's Guide features such famous figures as Dickens and Disraeli, while offering a thought-provoking examination of how our perceptions of this pivotal period of history have changed.

    The CD “Various Artists Latin Classics V.1 -18tr” is brand new, as stated in the ad. The disc itself is of good quality. It was packaged in a thick cardboard sleeve; the disc was not damaged during transportation and delivery. The seller is honest and respectable, responded to all my messages. I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you very much! I wish the seller all the best!
