Asa Briggs (Lord Briggs of Lewes) is one of today's best known historians. In his distinguished career he has been a Fellow and Provost of Worcester College, Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sussex and Chancellor of the Open University. He is president of the Social History Society, the Victorian Society and the Bronte Society.
The restless curiosity of the Victorians, their search for higher levels of comfort, their passion for scientific advance and their general obsession with "things" inspired them to search the natural world, the artistic heritage of other cultures and ages and to apply their minds to devising solutions to a host of practical issues. This survey of Victorian material culture brings to life the material culture of one of the most inventive, and acquisitive, societies.
