3.0 out of 5 stars
Not quite as promising as appeared at first glance,
This review is from: Eminent Victorians (Hardcover)
The book is beautifully presented, with interesting illustrations, and the treatment of various famous Victorians seemed promising at the outset. Yet, overall, the book is not of the quality I had expected. Facts are not treated in sufficient depth, and are presented with a narrow perspective.
Whether in an attempt to gain sales or just a nod to current popular obsessions, the over-emphasis on sex is quite boring. Everything from schoolboy novels (supposedly covert treatment of masochism) to Lewis Carroll is based on sexual matters, and too many motives are blamed on subconscious sexual frustration.
