Love Is All: 100 Years of Love & Courtship

As much a portrait of changing Britain as courtship and heartbreak, it sweetly argues that romance remains timeless. Gorgeous.

The combination of full Victorian garb — usually associated with strict or repressed formality — and sensual impulsivity is highly charming, like a secret history.
