Love in the time of Victoria Book

To give a little bit of background, I'm in the midst of working on a research paper about the Victorian age divide between morality and hypocrisy. This volume sheds a bit of light on whether or not the working classes were too depraved to be saved. On the contrary, from the evidence the author has gathered, it seems rather that the working poor had their own set of rules as to courtship and marriage, and dealing with pregnancy outside matrimony. It was an interesting look into what is often pointed to as the supreme underbelly of Victorian England, and it's not as bad as it's been made to seem.
