"To understand hatred and incivility in today's world, argues Christopher Lane, we should start with Victorian fiction. Although the word "Victorian" generally brings to mind images of prudish sexuality and well-heeled snobbery, it has above all become synonymous with self-sacrifice, earnest devotion, and moral rectitude. Yet this idealized vision of Victorian England is surprisingly scarce in the period's literature - and its journalism, sermons, poems, and plays - where villains, hypocrites, murderers, and cheats of all types abound."--Jacket.
