Description: Ever since the early days of Margaret Thatcher's prime ministership when she frequently ballyhooed the virtues of "Victorian Values," scholars have been revisiting the stereotypical history of life and lifestyles during Victorian Great Britain. 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.
