Paterson, A Brief History Of Life In Victorian Britian - A Social History Of Queen Victora's Reign

Abstract

Much has been written of Queen Victoria and British society during her lengthy reign. Much has been presented about the advancements made by the time of her passing in 1901. Notwithstanding the fact that some scholars might suggest that in light of the volume of narratives already composed on Victorian History no more are needed, A Brief History shows that there is still much to learn. Asserting that the Victorian Age has dominated the popular British imagination like no other, Michael Paterson affirms that the surfeit of stories and myths surrounding the Victorians have thus produced a misrepresentation of what life was truly like during the reign of Queen Victoria.
