Social Transformations Of The Victorian Age A Survey Of Court And Country
About the Book
Social transformations of the Victorian age: A survey of court and country is a historical account that explores the significant social changes that occurred during the reign of a long-serving monarch, contrasting earlier and later years of society as reflected in public spaces like a well-known park. It examines the emergence of new wealth, the role of the railway, and the impacts of industrialization on the national social fabric. The opening presents an in-depth look at the contrasting social landscapes of early and later years, focusing primarily on the park as a microcosm of broader changes. Initially, the park served as a social gathering place for the elite, featuring figures from aristocratic and intellectual circles. Over time, the demographics of the crowds shifted significantly, reflecting the rise of a more diverse society influenced by commerce, the arts, and politics. The text prepares readers for discussions on new wealth emerging from industrial advancement and the shifts in social hierarchy brought about by transformative forces
Thomas Hay Sweet Escott was a journalist and editor who was born in Taunton to Hay Escott of Launton. He earned his B.A. in 1865 and M.A. in 1868 from Queen's College, Oxford. Early in his career, he served as a lecturer in logic at King’s College London and later as deputy professor of classical literature. His work as a journalist began in 1866 when he became a leader writer for The Standard. In 1882, he took over as editor of The Fortnightly Review, but a severe health breakdown in 1886 led to his resignation and many years of semi-retirement. After a long period of poor health and inactivity, he resumed writing in 1894, contributing over 100 articles and publishing several books until his death. He was well connected in literary circles, forming friendships with notable figures in literature and history. He was married twice and had three children from his first marriage. His works reflected his deep engagement with English society, politics, and culture, and his writing spanned both journalism and books on national life and character.
