About the book: 2015 / The neo-Victorian novel is one of the most popular genres of modern British literature, a kind of artistically designed nostalgia for the 19th century, when the British the empire was the most influential player on the political world stage and the most scientifically and technologically advanced state. Among the topics that concern neo-Vicorian authors, the theme of music hall occupies a special place. A relatively young genre of entertainment theater, born in the middle of the 19th century and literally in a matter of years turning into a national treasure, music hall is becoming for modern authors the most important tool for in-depth analysis of the Victorian era.
