There are books you read, and there are books you display. This is both.
Based on the successful Victorian Writers series of videos by English Enjoyed, comes a beautiful clothbound, hardback compilation of 60 published and never-before-seen short reflections on modern life, reimagined through a Victorian lens. Each one is witty, charming, and ever-so-slightly acerbic.
Inside, you will find a curated collection of refined passages in the style of 19th-century writers (Then), each lovingly ‘translated’ for life in the 21st (Now).
It is, in short, a book for the formally minded forced to live in an informal world.
Perfect for lovers of language, period drama enthusiasts, and anyone who believes words should be properly dressed.
This is not a novel. It is a book to display proudly, return to often, and gift—if you feel inclined—to someone with very good taste.
