	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.
		Victorian prudery sometimes went so far as to deem it improper to say "leg" in mixed company; instead, the preferred euphemism “limb” was used.
		The apocryphal stories of skirts on piano legs in the name of modesty arose from a misunderstanding of the use of sheaths to protect the lower extremities of furniture from damage by footwear and brooms.

	The American Enterprise: From Victorian Virtues to Modern Values (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The term "values" brings with it the assumption that all moral ideas are subjective, that they are mere customs and conventions, that they have a purely utilitarian purpose, and that they adhere to particular peoples--or, as we now say, are race-, class-, and gender-specific.
		In Victorian England, moral principles were as much a part of public discourse as of private discourse, and as much a part of social policy as of personal life.
		And having made the most determined effort to devise policies that are "value free," that do not stigmatize the recipients of relief or the "style of life," we find that these policies imperil both the moral and the material well-being of their intended beneficiaries.

		Thatcher, during her election campaign in 1983, first raised the issue of "Victorian values," she said that she was grateful to have been brought up by a Victorian grandmother who taught her those values: hard work, self-reliance, self-respect, cleanliness, neighborliness, pride in country.
		Values, as we now understand that word, do not have to be virtues; they can be beliefs, opinions, attitudes, feelings, habits, preferences--whatever any individual, group, or society happens to value, at any time, for any reason.
		If the Victorians, at the height of the industrial revolution, could retain and even strengthen an ethos that had its roots in religion and tradition, it may be that we are not as constrained by the material conditions of our own time as we have thought.

		Instead of succumbing either to the sniggering, Bloomsbury intellectuals or class warriors dismissive of the "soft" politics of citizenship, Marquand demands a full-blooded revival of Victorian values: a reinvented public domain to mobilise the political conscience and challenge "the all-pervasive ideology of consumerism".

	Horror Victorianorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Horror Victorianorum (terror of the Victorian) is a term devised by the philosopher David Stove to refer to irrational distaste for, or condemnation of, Victorian culture, art and design.
		The term was used in Stove's book The Plato Cult as part of his argument against Karl Popper and other philosophers whom he characterised as "modernists".
		For Stove, the ascription of absurdity to Victorian culture was essentially a matter of taste, but one so powerful and irrational that it possessed the intensity of religious faith.
