Victorian Values: Conclusions (2021)
I linked to part III in a series. There is also part I <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wyclif.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;victorian-values-a-practical-guide?s=r" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wyclif.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;victorian-values-a-practical-g...</a> and part II <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wyclif.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;a-practical-guide-to-victorian-values?s=r" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wyclif.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;a-practical-guide-to-victorian...</a> .<p>For ontext, I was quite disappointed by this other recently posted article about Vicotrian values: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30894353" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30894353</a> . It was short, not very analytical, and more than a bit moralizing in tone, with many unstated assumptions never made clear. (It rejects the claims of prude Victorian life as a fiction invented by the post-WW2 generations who have not truly got past prudery themselves. But there was a distinctively Victorian spirit for betterment of morals. Why again the Victorian moral project and supposed &quot;prudery&quot; was in the wrong, in the first place?)
