The De-moralization Of Society
From Victorian Virtues to Modern Values
As the debate over values grows ever more divisive, one of the most eminent historians of the Victorian era reminds readers that values are no substitute for virtues--and that the Victorian considered hard work, thrift, respectability, and charity virtues essential to a worthwhile life. An elegant, literate defense of ninteenth-century English mores and morals.--New York.
