SynopsisThe Victorians in this richly peopled narrative maneuvered through decades marked by frequent shifts in taste, some seeking safety in traditional styles, others drawn to the avant-garde of artists, composers, and writers. Peter Gay's panoramic survey offers a fresh view of the ideas and sensibilities that dominated Victorian culture., In uncovering the roots of modernism, a master historian shows readers the hidden side of the Victorian era: the role of the bourgeois as reactionaries, revolutionaries, and middle-of-the-roaders in the passage of high culture toward modernism. No one reading this concluding volume of Gay's magnificent reevaluation of the 19th century will ever again use the term Victorian as a synonym for dull. Photos.
