The New Victorians

The American Victorian period (versus the British Victorian period, which was related in some ways however distinct) is the identify given to the famously prudish, buttoned-up, and censorial interval in America between roughly 1870 and 1914. We’re speaking indecency legal guidelines, e book bans, speech rules – the works. Although no historic analogy is ever good, in my estimation the Victorian period is the closest parallel to Cancel Tradition at this time.
