The Victorians

Sobre el libro The Victorians de Jeremy Paxman publicado por BBC Books al 2009:

Paxman´s personal take on the most important and influential period of our national past. By looking at the paintings of the era, Paxman explores themes of family, urban life, industry, empire and imagination to uncover truths and expose myths about Victorian Britain. This book is everything you´d expect from Paxman - opinionated, surprising and hugely enthusiastic - and is the official tie-in to a new 4-part documentary series on BBC 1. With full colour reproductions of many of the key paintings.
