Description

Explore the deep connection between ritual, class, and public status in Victorian England with this historical study by Albert D. Pionke. Covering the middle decades of the nineteenth century from 1838 to 1877, this book examines how public ritual grew alongside the rising ranks of professional classes. Through a detailed analysis of professionalization discourses, Pionke tracks how status was negotiated and maintained. The text utilizes a wide range of historical sources, including magazines, court cases, law books, and manuals to build a complete picture of the era. Readers will find connections to famous literary figures of the period. The research incorporates works by authors such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as well as William Makepeace Thackeray and Thomas Hughes. This book provides a necessary look at how ceremonial status shaped the social landscape of Great Britain during a period of significant professional growth.
