Why Were Victorian Elites So Effective?
A new essay examines the work habits and character traits of Victorian elites, arguing that a set of personal 'vices'—including ambition, workaholism and competitiveness—helped drive the era's remarkable output in science, industry and empire. The piece is drawing wide attention and debate, with readers questioning whether those same traits would be admired or condemned today.
Why now: The essay's contrarian take on Victorian virtues and vices has struck a chord with readers debating historical success and modern values.
