5.0 out of 5 stars Gentleman Historian, August 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: PUNCH: THE LIVELY YOUTH OF A BRITISH INSTITUTIO (VICTORIAN LIFE & LITERATURE) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book. One could almost recommend it as a student's first history of 1840s England. Former Professor Altick loves his subject, knows it thoroughly, and shares his knowledge with us with infectious enthusiasm. He treats Punch neither as an antiquarian curiosity, nor inflates its importance beyond what it was -- a popular magazine in an era of many voices. The chapters are ordered thematically, but, unlike so many other scholars, Professor Altick knows how to tie his themes together, so the book works beautifully as a whole. Anyone interested in Victorian culture should read this book. Historians interested in producing good works, in any field, would learn from it.
