For those who have studied Victorian history and literature, the ugly undercurrents prove to be the reverse of the staid middle class facade. This brief essay may be used to ponder why in the twenty-first century we are still forced to deal with antifeminist, misogynist, and homophobic animus evidenced in much of our legislation. As one becomes aware of the Victorian thoughts and feelings still lingering in his or her psyche, one may be able to surmount them and move to a more educated and humanistic acceptance of one's humanity. Homo sum a me nihil humani alienem puto, (Terentius).Product details

An Evil Age An Essay on Marriage and Sex in the Victorian Era eBook Dan Agin Reviews
This was a very quick, but informative read. I'm a scientist, not a historian, so I'm content to have my historical tales "pre-digested" for me. I think this was an interesting overview of the time, and it was interesting to place the strange behaviors and ethics of the time into such a historical context.
