One of Englands grand masters of history provides a clear and persuasive interpretation of the creation of respectable society in Victorian Britain. Integrating a vast amount of research previously hidden in obscure or academic journals, he covers not only the economy, social structure, and patterns of authority, but also marriage and the family, childhood, homes and houses, work and play.By 1900 the structure of British society had become more orderly and welldefined than it had been in the 1830s and 1840s, but the result, Thompson shows, was fragmentation into a multiplicity of sections or classes with differing standards and notions of respectability. Each group operated its own social controls, based on what it considered acceptable or unacceptable conduct. This internalized and diversified respectability was not the cohesive force its middleclass and evangelical proponents had envisioned. The Victorian experience thus bequeathed structural problems, identity problems, and authority problems to the twentieth century, with which Britain is grappling.

I found the content really informative, but sometimes it felt a bit monotonous. The author's style could use a bit more engagement for modern readers. Still, worth a read for history buffs.

Not what I expected
I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with some pages damaged. The history itself is interesting, but I wish I had a better copy to enjoy it fully.
