The Romans and the Greeks wrote endlessly on this topic. Everything Confucius said, too. Perhaps the only significances of the Victorians was the rise of a middle class and "more" upward mobility. Before it had been "act your class/caste", the one you had been born in, but for the Victorians is was the class you wanted your _children_ to be born in. But for sure, was an interesting comparison, until the vomit forced into the last line. |

I’m glad that I wasn’t the only one who found that to be offputting. What a way to ruin an otherwise excellent article.
