Description

Victorian Exeter 1837-1914 by Robert Newton

This book is a portrait of a Victorian city which was never typically Victorian. Exeter retained until 1914 the characteristics of the World of Trollope and Surtees and in many respects was a survivor from pre-industrial England. Beginning with a description of the city in 1837, in its last days as a true provincial capital, the book describes the ensuing decline in economic growth, with the consequent unemployment and food riots, and then the revival of prosperity in a new form at the end of the nineteenth century.
