You get the idea, though.


Victoria was the one who really made prudery a fashion-statement.

Victoria was the one who really made prudery a fashion-statement.

Queen Victoria's prudishness didn't really kick in until after Albert died. Before that, she was quite high-spirited.

Much of 19th century Victorianism was more form than practice and mostly acknowledged as such at the time.
