As the second son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, E.F.Benson author of the witty Mapp and Lucia books, was superbly placed to observe and comment on Victorian society. Benson looks back to the early years of Victoria's reign, when her common sense and bourgeois values made her hugely popular, and on to the end of the nineteenth century, when her isolation put her out of touch with her subjects.
