Victorian Minds

Trama

Dove un tempo il “vittorismo” evocava un’immagine di compiacimento, ipocrisia e mancanza di mente, ora suggerisce il contrario: un’epoca di alta tensione intellettuale, morale e spirituale, in cui i problemi tipici della modernità si ponevano nelle loro forme più acute. Victorian Minds è uno studio di intellettuali in crisi e di ideologie in transizione, reso con un’eleganza di stile e di pensiero.
