A generation before Queen Victoria ascended to the throne, the British were notorious for their boisterous parties, plain-speaking and drunkenness. They were lightly policed, if at all, and disorder was tolerated at the price of liberty.
How was it, then, that this pleasure-loving people came to embrace the kind of values we know as Victorianism?
In this highly acclaimed history, Ben Wilson explores the reasons behind this remarkable transformation from disorder to decency.
