Victorian America and the Civil War
Anne Rose examines the relationship between American Victorian culture and the Civil War, arguing that Romanticism was at the heart of Victorian culture. Through the biographies of seventy-five Victorian Americans the book compares the passion surrounding the War with the traditional view of 'polite' Victorian society.
