520    "Victorian Britain set out to make the ancient world its 
       own. This is the story of how it failed. It is the story 
       of the headmaster who bludgeoned his wife to death, then 
       calmly sat down to his Latin. It is the story of the 
       embittered classical prodigy who turned to gin and opium -
       and the virtuoso forger who fooled the greatest scholars 
       of the age. It is a history of hope: a general who longed 
       to be an Homeric hero, a bankrupt poet who longed to start
       a revolution. Victorian classicism was defined by hope - 
       but shaped by uncertainty. Packed with forgotten 
       characters and texts, with the roar of the burlesque-stage
       and the mud of the battlefield, this book offers a rich 
       insight into nineteenth-century culture and society. It 
       explores just how difficult it is to stake a claim on the 
       past"--|cProvided by publisher.
