	Morbid Outlook - Victorian Mourning Garb
		The Victorian era reflected the Queen’s prudish ethics as well as, most visibly, her personal taste in mourning.
		Victorian mourning fashion was aimed mainly at women, widows in particular.
		Most of the fabrics associated with Victorian life are no longer in use today, partially due to the invention of modern synthetic fabrics, but also because many Victorian fabrics are too expensive to manufacture today.

	The Temperance Movement and Class Struggle in Victorian England
		The teetotallers' goal was to create self-respect among the working class and to encourage them to apply the ideas of Victorianism to themselves so that they might establish and strive for goals to improve their position in society and not remain idle.
		A Victorian feminist, Frances Power Cobbe, claimed that workingclass men, became increasingly violent when under the influence of alcohol and that the availability of liquor, as a temptation to working-class men posed a serious threat to their wives who were frequently exposed to their husband's violent, drunken furies.
		Citing liquor as the cause of crime in Victorian England was not uncommon.

		Though Gladstone began his career as a Tory (the nickname for members of the Conservative Party), he became the leader of the Liberal Party and a champion of classical liberalism, the economic and political philosophy that opposed state intervention in economic affairs, supported free trade, competition, and individual initiative as the key to success.
		Victorian England was on the road to great strength, maintained by its unparalleled peace at home.
		As explained by historian Mark Kishlansky, England experienced no revolution because its ruling elite, of common background and education, was able to change and adapt to the shifting needs and opinions of modern society.

	Victorian morality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victorian morality is a distillation of the moral views of people living at the time of Queen Victoria (reigned 1837 - 1901) in particular, and to the moral climate of Great Britain throughout the 19th century in general.
		During England's years as a republic, the law imposed a strict moral code on the people (even abolishing Christmas as too indulgent of the sensual pleasures).
		Victorian prudery sometimes went so far as to deem it improper to say "leg" in mixed company; instead, the preferred euphemism “limb” was used.

		Her intelligent, and unromanticized scrutiny of Victorian domestic custom, etiquette and style will greatly enhance readers' understanding of the period's social history, its literature, and visual and decorative arts.
		It is easy, and tempting, to take a romantic view of the Victorian Age, to wax sentimental about its high moral standards, its extraordinary literature, its great strides in industrial production and domestic conveniences and, of course, the good queen from whom it takes its name.
		Yet somehow, though perched eternally at the edge of squalor, the Victorians managed to make decent lives for themselves, with comfortable parlors and dining rooms (the latter often served "as both a dining room and a family sitting room"), and drawing rooms for receiving and entertaining friends.

	Welfare and Charity: Lessons from Victorian England
		By guaranteeing the means of subsistence as a legal right to all, England relieved the poor of the obligation to work and thus made paupers of so many of the poor.
		The Victorians gave what they could by way of money, but more important, they gave of themselves, with their personal, sustained involvement in their work and their direct and immediate concern for those whom they were assisting.
		The New Poor Law of 1834 was based on the "principle of less eligibility," which stipulated that the condition of the "able-bodied pauper" on relief (it did not apply to the sick, aged, or children) be less "eligible" — that is, less desirable, less favorable — than the condition of the independent laborer.

	The Temperance Movement and Class Struggle in Victorian England
		Furthermore, the Victorians heralded that thrift and self-denial were imperative to forming a "true man." Thus, a man who spent money on something such as alcohol was wasteful and, in effect, a failure because he did not spend his time and money in a reasonable and useful manner.
		The frustrated leaders, unable to persuade all of Victorian England that drinking was immoral, disengaged their followers and sought to return to their private lives and concentrate on themselves.
		They used not just external control, but encouraged the internalization of Victorian values so that the workingclass man would want to remain sober and be a social and financial success.

	Victorian England
		Victorian, in other words, can be taken to mean parent of the modern -- and like most powerful parents, it provoked a powerful reaction against itself.
		British Victorians were excited by geographical exploration, by the opening up of Africa and Asia to the West, yet were troubled by the intractable Irish situation and humiliated by the failures of the Boer War.
		Education in nineteenth-century England was not equal - not between the sexes, and not between the classes.

	Subtropical Gardening in Victorian England
		Even before the Victorian Era, in the late 18th century, England already had an edge over the rest of Europe in the area of gardening (Huxley, Griffiths, Levy, 1992).
		By contrast, gardening throughout the rest of Europe was mostly restricted to the royalty and wealthy landowners, since the middle class was generally slower to develop and not quite as well off.
		If England had not colonized so many regions of the world, they probably would not have been aware of all the interesting plants from these regions at all (Amherst, 1896).

	Class law in Victorian England Past & Present - Find Articles
		Legal barriers were erected in the path of working-class self-help activity and increasingly harsh sanction was imposed on any personal financial lapse not because of the economic circumstances of manual workers but because of their social class.
		The argument win be developed by looking in turn at the institutional and legal constraints on thrift and on personal indebtedness in Victorian England, but the article begins by reviewing historical interpretations of the reform of the civil law in nineteenth-century England.
		The civil law in England was transformed in the Victorian period as archaic and customary procedures and court structures were replaced by a more streamlined, more professional legal system that was better suited to the new requirements of a growing industrial urban economy.(2) Nowhere was this more apparent than in the regulation of economic transactions.

	Bastardy and Baby Farming in Victorian England
		Despite the tremendous toll it took on the lives of innocent children, the Victorians' fear of government intervention into social reform and the Victorian ideal of the inviolability of the family prevented its reform until the end of the 19th century.
		Reform moved slowly for fear of violating the Victorian ideal of the sanctity of the family, and their abhorrence of government regulation and its involvement in social reform, both of which infringed on the rights of the individual.
		The Victorians heightened sense of social conscience in the latter half of the 19th century certainly recognized the need for reform, but their laissez faire attitudes toward social and economic matters caused the wheels of change to turn slowly.

	Meeting the Demand for Clergy in Victorian England
		Many new changes came to Victorian England as a result of the age of industrialization.
		The Church of England went about meeting these demands for new clergy in two major ways, actively recruiting men to the clergy and restructuring theological facilities and changing the requirements for ordination.
		In 1832 the "Church of England was in danger and quite unequipped for ministry to an emerging urban industrial society" (Parsons 16).

		The Victorian era, from the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 until her death in 1901, was an era of several unsettling social developments that forced writers more than ever before to take positions on the immediate issues animating the rest of society.
		Similarly alienated by the materialism and commercialism of the period, Thomas Carlyle, another of the great Victorians, advanced a heroic philosophy of work, courage, and the cultivation of the godlike in human beings, by means of which life might recover its true worth and nobility.

	Amazon.de: Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in Regency and Victorian England from 1811-1901: English Books: Kristine ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As other reviewers have noted out, the time span is a bit confused; Victorianism did not die out in 1901 but the book rarely even ventures to the last years of the 1800s, and while I don't know much of the Regency period, it seems incomplete there as well.
		There were great differences between the Regency and Victorian eras, obvious differences such as changes in fashion, or the rapid industrializiation, and more subtle differences such as transformations in public and private behavior.
		Recommended for Victorian authors, but for Regency authors you would be better served to seek out a copy of "The Regency Companion" by Laudermilk and Hamlin.

		As soon as the Christmas holidays had arrived work and care were universally thrown aside and, instead of devotional practices by which other countries commemorated the sacred occasion, England rang from one end to the other with mirth and joviality.

		For those, such as myself, who are adults who have studied or explored the Victorian age in the past, there is nothing really new here, and the organisation and tone of writing, which assumes no previous knowledge and is very much "junior high" level, make it a less than engaging read.
		In doing extensive research on the basic, every day living of people in Victorian England, I found this book to be an invaluable source to my work.
		Of all of the books that I ordered, Mitchell's guide to Victorian England truly gives the reader a picture of people, places, and ideas that is only dealt with on surface levels in other texts.
