Summary:
3) Modern Victorians
Dominic explores how British post-war culture demonstrates the same anxieties and preoccupations as Victorian Britain, particularly in terms of the state of the nation and the desire to export British values. Where Dickens was concerned with the impact of industrialisation on poor urban communities, post-war artists, writers and filmmakers are preoccupied with the impact of de-industrialisation and the lack of work for these communities. Similarly, the civilising mission of the Victorian period has now become translated into science fiction and fantasy, where values can be exported to an Empire of imagination.
