Samenvatting

This book is a major examination of the way Victorian advertisements reflected and shaped social values and ideals. Stylishly written and featuring about 75 illustrations as pictorial evidence, Consuming Angels demonstrates how advertisements picked up hedonistic patterns in Victorian culture, glorified the culture's consumerism, and mythologized a middle-class life which offered prosperity for all.
