Book Synopsis

Stevenson offers a concise and fascinating portrait of the intellectual lives of ordinary Americans from the Civil War through Reconstruction.



Trade Review

Louise L. Stevenson persuasively argues that Victorian culture was shaped as much by those who lived in the Civil War and Reconstruction period—the receivers of ideas—as by the shapers.... She further argues that for Victorians it is not illuminating to separate the private from the public lives.... The Victorian Homefront is a pioneering book that combines the best of intellectual history and material culture.
