Walter E. Houghton identifies and analyses the defining attitudes, anxieties, and beliefs that characterised the Victorian era, from the crisis of faith and the worship of force to the pervasive sense of optimism and moral earnestness. Drawing on an extraordinarily broad range of primary sources — including letters, diaries, essays, novels, and sermons — the work argues that Victorian thought cannot be reduced to a single tendency but is instead a complex and often contradictory web of competing impulses. Authoritative in scope and meticulous in detail, it remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the intellectual climate that shaped one of history's most transformative centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130765910235,"sku":"2026100008299-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c37ae5cc-ff08-4dcd-a8ce-85385883e94a.png?v=1786589588","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008299-secondhand-the-victorian-frame-of-mind","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
