A good clean copy of "Victoria's Heyday", by J.B. Priestley, first published bt William Heinemann in 1972, this copy issued by Penguin Books in 1974. A rich and beautifully illustrated panorama of that most Victorian of decades, the 1850's. These were the years of Victoria's greatest happiness with her beloved Albert, of the Great Exhibition and the flowering of literary activity led by Dickens, the Brontës, George Eliot, Tennyson and many others; the huge paradoxes of industrial expansion, middle-class consolidation and extreme poverty; of sexual repression, "My Secret Life..." and a London which shocked even Dostoyevsky. Mr. Priestley deals with these - and with the more violent events of the decade { the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny } with wit, perception and a fine critical sympathy. Soft covers, some 296 pages, black and white and full colour illustrations.
