The Edwardian Turn of Mind brilliantly evokes the cultural temper of an age. The years between the death of Queen Victoria and the outbreak of the First World War witnessed a turbulent and dramatic struggle between the old and the new. Samuel Hynes considers the principal areas of conflict - politics science the arts and the relations between men and women - and fills them with a wide-ranging cast of characters: Tories Liberals and Socialists artists and reformers psychoanalysts and psychic researchers sexologists suffragettes and censors. His book is a portrait of a tumultuous time - out of which contemporary England was made.
