Disreputable Pleasures: Less Virtuous Victorians at PlayMike Huggins, J. A. Mangan Psychology Press, 2004 - 246 páginas Many historians have claimed that respectability was the sharpest line of social division in Victorian society, even that the line between the 'respectable' and 'unrespectable' was more significant than between rich and poor. This irreverent and revisionist collection argues that they have over-polarised Victorian attitudes and challenges the conventional view that middle-class Victorian leisure had a respectable and serious purpose and approach. |
