Victorian Things (Sutton History Classics)

by Asa Briggs (Author)

Synopsis

The restless curiosity of the Victorians, their search for higher levels of comfort, their passion for scientific advance and their general obsession with things inspired them to search the natural world, the artistic heritage of other cultures and ages and to apply their minds to devising solutions to a host of practical issues. This survey of Victorian material culture brings to life the material culture of one of the most inventive, and acquisitive, societies.
