Description: Ever since the early days of Margaret Thatcher's prime ministership when she frequently balloyhooed the virtues of "Victorian Values," scholars have been revisiting the sterotypical history of life and lifestyles during Victorian in Great Britian. for much of the last century we have perceived Victorians as living soberly prudent lives, living in overstuffed houses, filled with overstuffed furniture. We have commonly depicted the Victorians as persons who revered the institutions of religion, family, country and social convention. This course stresses the result of the most recent historical research which challenges the more traditional views. Department Permission Required.
