Although the word "Victorian" generally brings to mind images of prudish sexuality and well-heeled snobbery, it has above all become synonymous with self-sacrifice, earnest devotion, and moral rectitude. Yet this idealized version of Victorian England is surprisingly scarce in the period's literature--and its journalism, sermons, poems, and plays--where villains, hypocrites, murderers, and cheats of all types abound. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMisanthropy in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature 606 $aInterpersonal relations in literature 606 $aManners and customs in literature 606 $aCourtesy in literature 606 $aHate in literature 607 $aEngland$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMisanthropy in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature. 615 0$aInterpersonal relations in literature. 615 0$aManners and customs in literature. 615 0$aCourtesy in literature. 615 0$aHate in literature. 676 $a823/.809353 700 $aLane$b Christopher$f1966-$01480025 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777006503321 996 $aHatred & civility$93696481 997 $aUNINA
