Victoria Died in 1901 and is Still Alive Today

Victoria Died in 1901 and is Still Alive Today

Jonathan Meades's personal, entertaining and deliberately provocative journey through Victorian architecture.

From fantasy castles to the House of Parliament, he explores the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of Victorian society, using a combination of comic sketches, dance routines and riotous bad taste.

Meades concludes that the British obsession with escapism and the desire to live in the past means Queen Victoria is still very much alive today.
