I realised this fact today as I inspected an old black-and-white photograph of a whaling village in Nantucket, with its solid pragmatic buildings and dirt road, populated solely by Victorians and a single horse and cart. The Victorians have been on my mind for a while. I have a growing suspicion that the Victorian era has neglected to die, that it’s still walking about in zombie form, that it perhaps needs to be woken before it can be properly laid to rest, or with greater violence torn out of our living cells. But I digress.
