Abstract

Mr. Asguith on the Victorians
March 1, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Some Aspects of the Victorian Age," by H.H. Asquith. From his survey of the Victorian era British Prime Minister Asquith was compelled by the terms of the Romanes lectureship to exclude "the two great controversial domains of politics and theology," each of which, he rightly says, "absorbed a large part of the energies of the Victorians great and small"; and more than once in this discourse he noticeably chafes at the restriction. But upon other aspects of the period he has sound and shrewd comment to make, and it need scarcely be said that he makes it with dignity, lucidity, and a certain grave charm which one has come definitely to associate with the ex-Premier's written and spoken word.
