A delicious sepia wet dream of a book that had me drooling, swiping right and wanting to buy a time machine' - Alan Carr

'What a treat!' - Dawn French

'Victorian men - or at least those featured in the universe of Hot Victorians - exuded mystery, elegance and charm. This book is brilliant fun - capturing the debonair dandyism and sophisticated enigma of some very ruttable gentleman of the time. I can imagine myself engaging in salacious nanty-narking with some of these titillating gentlemen!'- Dita Von Teese (Burlesque Queen)

What did the Victorians ever do for us? Forget the industrial revolution, great works of literature and the birth of modern science. Did you know Victorian men were... smoking hot?

Authored by the hugely popular 'Hot Victorians' Instagram account, this book is a brazen celebration of the most gentlemanly brows, chiselled jawlines and tightest abs of the Victorian era.

Divided into chapters such as Hot Dads, Original Hipsters, Jocks and Sexy Nerds, each entry includes a swoon-worthy picture, a fascinating biography and a hilarious dating profile. Among the 70 gents included, meet:

- Our cover star, Arthur Shidler, dishy doctor and family man from Illinois. - Alexandre Yersin, the physician responsible for the identification of the bubonic plague parasite - is it really justified that such an ugly bacteria is named after a man so beautiful!? - An unknown man from Plymouth with a Roman nose so majestic it has to be seen to be believed.

Just what would it be like to date these debonair dandies? This book, handsomely packaged with a classic cover, is perfect for anyone who likes their history with a slice of cheekiness. Pull up a chair, you're going to need to sit down.
