On account of its remarkable reach as well as its variety of
schemes and features, migration in the Victorian era is a paramount
chapter of the history of worldwide migrations and diasporas.
Indeed, Victorian Britain was both a land of emigration and
immigration. International Migrations in the Victorian Era covers a
wide range of case studies to unveil the complexity of
transnational circulations and connections in the 19th century.
Combining micro- and macro-studies, this volume looks into the
history of the British Empire, 19th century international migration
networks, as well as the causes and consequences of Victorian
migrations and how technological, social, political, and cultural
transformations, mainly initiated by the Industrial Revolution,
considerably impacted on people's movements. It presents a history
of migration grounded on people, structural forces and migration
processes that bound societies together. Rather than focussing on
distinct territorial units, International Migrations in the
Victorian Era balances different scales of analysis: individual,
local, regional, national and transnational. Contributors are:
Rebecca Bates, Sally Brooke Cameron, Milosz K. Cybowski, Nicole
Davis, Anne-Catherine De Bouvier, Claire Deligny, Elizabeth
Dillenburg, Nicolas Garnier, Trevor Harris, Kathrin Levitan,

Richards, Sue Silberberg, Ben Szreter, Geraldine Vaughan, Briony
Wickes, Rhiannon Heledd Williams.
