Class, Commercialisation, and Technological Change

🎩🕯️ Victorian life was rigid, formal, and heavily controlled — which made leisure time surprisingly strange. From public spectacles and unusual parlor games to morbid hobbies and eccentric social gatherings, entertainment often reflected the era’s obsessions with order, death, curiosity, and propriety. What passed for fun could be awkward, unsettling, or quietly absurd by modern standards.

Tonight, close your eyes and drift into gaslit parlors, crowded halls, and peculiar pastimes — where fun followed rules, boredom bred creativity, and entertainment was never quite normal.
