Based on original research, including newly discovered material, Chase masterfully weaves together analysis and narrative, bringing to life the intimate and personal stories of those involved alongside the broader social and political context. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in early Victorian Britain, this book will be a valuable resource for specialists, students, and general readers alike.
