Valuable surveys of the period are provided in W. E.
Houghton, The Victorian Frame of Mind, 1830-1870 (New
Haven, 1957); G. M. Young, Victorian England: Portrait of
an Age
(London, 1936; 2nd ed. 1953); and Ideas and Beliefs
of the Victorians
(London, 1949), a collection of BBC talks
by experts on various aspects of Victorian England. Relevant
social histories are G. Kitson Clark, The Making of Victorian
England
(Cambridge, Mass., 1962); G. M. Trevelyan, Illus-
trated English Social History,

tury
(London and New York, 1952); and G. M. Young, ed.,
Early Victorian England, 1830-1865, 2 vols. (London and
New York, 1934). For utilitarianism, see É. Halévy, The
Growth of Philosophic Radicalism,
trans. M. Morris (Boston,

Studies of important individual Victorians appear in Asa
Briggs, Victorian People (Chicago, 1954); The Great Vic-
torians,
