Young argues that Western ideology has shaped a "metronomic society," stubbornly
linear and perceiving cyclical time as a threat which robs us of our sense of
progress and individuality...This linear bias, as Walter Houghton recognizes in
The Victorian Frame of Mind, 1830 to
1870, particularly emerges in the metronomic narrowness of the Victorian
age: never before had men thought of their own time as an era of change from the
past to the future.
