Book Synopsis Victorian People and Ideas by : Richard Daniel Altick
Book excerpt: The reputation of the Victorian age in England has undergone many vicissitude, but it is now higher than ever. In this important new study, Richard D. Altick, moves us toward an understanding of the social, intellectual, and theological crises that Carlyle and Dickens, Tennyson and Arnold were daily struggling to solve. And the issues were many. Altick brings to the discussion of these complicated questions the lively and sensitive intelligence that his many readers have come to expect. He includes contemporary illustrations and a full reference index.
