New book… world saved

A massive tome, Mackenzie's The Victorian Vision lands with a crash on my doormat. Everything you might ever need to know about Victorian art, politics, culture, gender relations, racial concepts etc. etc.

Damn…

I've just been to my colleague Rosie's lecture on the Victorians. As usual, it's a high point of the year for its breadth and vision. And so, I ended up slipping back into the office to buy The Victorian Vision, because she ended with a great quote from said book.
