Victoria
In a text about queen VictoriaI I read: ...though England had a strut and swagger during this period..." What is 'strut and swagger' in this context?
Top answer
Strut and swagger are two ways of walking, used to describe people with extreme self confidence. With England treated as a person, it would mean that it had confidence, possibly overconfidence. This could be positive or negative, depending on the rest of the text.
