Summary: valuable overview of Victorian culture
Comment: The Rise of Respectable Society is one of the best recent scholarly overviews of Victorian culture and society. Thompson argues persuasively that there was a unified value system-- the cult of respectablity-- to which the majority of both middle-class and working-class Victorians subscribed. This book is a good antidote to sensationalist accounts of Victorian England that focus exclusively on flamboyant high life or the shadowy underworld. It's a bit dry, but eminently readable.
