“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
