This article from yesterday’s Times is a valiant attempt to defend the Victorian era from its critics and promote it as the greatest era in our history. As Michael Gove is a Conservative MP it definitely fits with his party’s views and alludes to the Thatcher era. There have been many comments on this and Daniel Finkelstein’s Comment Central here carries some from writers such as Matthew Parris.
