In Hard Times: Reformers Among the Late Victorians by Herman Ausubel (English) H

Description: In Hard Times by Herman Ausubel FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography subel /f Herman Kirkus US Review The discrediting of the Victorian outlook during the Edwardian period and on to World War I was, according to this authority, a result of mis-reading of English history. It was not until the world began to relax between the wars, that perspective was achieved and the residual benefits of the good done by the reform movements of the Victorian era assessed. Between 1865 and 1903 a major social transformation had taken place, and then came a period of depression. This book shows the transitional period when reformers flourished; the groundwork was laid for todays welfare society in the days of Disraeli, Gladstone, Florence Nightingale, Bernard Shaw and others. The greatest good to come from this period was the definition of social and governmental abuses as set apart from natural conditions; previously accepted inferences of determinism were cast aside. Sprightly writing and clever line drawings make this a welcome addition to the history shelves, and scholars will feel that tapping of new basic sources gives an authentic note.
