The Cultivation of hatred - P. Gay

The Bourgeois Experience Victoria to Freud. Volume III.

Middle-class Victorian culture is explored in a study that discusses a society divided by restraints and aggressions that ultimately exploded in World War I. By the author of Freud: A LIfe for Our Time.

"War," exclaimed Thomas Mann as the European powder keg exploded in 1914, "is purification, liberation, and an enormous hope." His was not the only voice edged with eagerness for battle. For nearly a hundred years, aggression had lurked beneath the surface of bourgeois culture, emerging occasionally to split the social order into insiders and outsiders. The Victorians, like members of other cultures, gave themselves permission to ridicule, bully, patronize, and exploit individuals and classes, races and nations they deemed to be inferior.
