AN Wilson, a biographer and historian, teams up with Fern Riddell, a historian focused on Victorian sexuality, Sarah Williams, a research professor on Victorian social reform, and Matthew Stallard, an expert on Victorian imperialism. Together, they unpack misconceptions of 'Victorian values' and discuss the complexities of Victorian sexual culture, social reformations like the fight against child labor, and the legacy of figures such as Josephine Butler. They explore the intricate contradictions of the era, from civic pride to the darker aspects of power and morality.
