Förlagets beskrivning
This particularly delightful study of Victorian seaside resorts-Queenscliff, Sorrento, Lorne and Mornington-provides a new and interesting insight into the social life and customs of the nineteenth century.
Andrea Inglis has uncovered a wealth of fascinating paintings, letters, diaries and other primary sources, as well as a wonderful collection of photographs and postcards.
She has a fine ear for the tones of complacency, moral earnestness and social exclusiveness of seaside society. For the pursuit of health was accompanied by the pursuit, or confirmation, of social status
