Drawing on the 1874-1892 archives of the iconic British satirical magazine Punch, the author uses excerpts and commentary to showcase Victorian attitudes about high politics, wages and work, the status of women, education, religion and the churches, London and its government, railways and inventions, crown and court, journalism and letters, and more.
