Description
In this richly textured survey of Victorian attitudes to the past, Andrew Sanders explores how writers and artists drew upon literary records to shape their understanding of history. From poets and painters to architects and musicians, Sanders examines the ways in which different creative voices responded to British history.
The book offers a fresh investigation into unexpected Victorian attitudes towards the past, revealing how certain 20th-century prejudices and biases were established during this period. By studying the works of notable figures such as Jane Austen, John Donne, William Shakespeare, and Augustus Pugin, Sanders sheds new light on the literary nature of Victorian history writing.
Through its wide-ranging survey, In the Olden Time provides a nuanced understanding of how Victorians perceived their own past and its significance for the present. This book is an original contribution to our understanding of Victorian responses to British history.
