3 quotes from How to Be a Victorian

"We have become very detached from our past. Our lives are filled with conveniences that have obscured the struggles of those who came before us, and understanding how they lived can give us valuable insight into our own existence."
"Comfort and convenience may be the hallmarks of modern life, but in the Victorian era, everything came at a cost – often a personal one, reflecting the deeper values of hard work, ingenuity, and resilience."
"To understand the Victorians, we must embrace the entirety of their experience – the highs, the lows, the oddities and the traditions – because therein lies the essence of their humanity."
