This book, first published in 2000, uses interpretations of the
French Revolution as a model to ask what history meant to Victorian
Britain, how events became enshrined with the authority of history,
and how such cultural assumptions might help us to read
nineteenth-century British literature. By examining reactions to
French revolution in a broad selection of texts, this book explores
how the Victorians responded to developments in France in
historical terms, repeatedly comparing new events to the touchstone
of the first French Revolution, yet always with the goal of finding
ways to understand Britain’s own past, present and future.
