Death In The Dining Room And Other Tales Of Victorian Culture

  • Death In The Dining Room And Other Tales Of Victorian Culture

  • Attribution

    by Kenneth L. Ames

  • Publication Details

    Book, Temple University Press, 1992

  • Description

    In this provocative look at Victorian America, Kenneth Ames explores the minds of Victorians by examining some of their most distinctive and fascinating creations. Ames reveals not only the major outlines of Victorian culture but also the conflicts and tensions deep within that culture. For example, the importance of public image was dramatized by the rituals of the front hall in Victorian homes: its placement within the house, the massive hallstand with its receptacles for calling cards and umbrellas, accommodations for temporary and usually uncomfortable seating.
