An interdisciplinary study of British liberalism in the nineteenth
century'Victorian Liberalism and Material Culture' assesses the
unexplored links between Victorian material culture and political
theory. It seeks to transform understanding of Victorian
liberalism's key conceptual metaphor - that the mind of an
individuated subject is private space. Focusing on the environments
inhabited by four Victorian writers and intellectuals, it
delineates how John Stuart Mill's, Matthew Arnold's, John Morley's,
and Robert Browning's commitments to liberalism were shaped by or
manifested through the physical spaces in which they worked. The
book also asserts the centrality of the embodied experience of
actual people to Victorian political thought. Readers will gain new
historical and literary understanding and will be introduced to an
innovative methodology that links material culture and political
theory.Key featuresAddresses interaction between British liberal
