This title was first published in 2001. The eminent historian of
Victorian Britain, Walter L. Arnstein has, over the course of a
career spanning more than 40 years, arguably introduced more
students to British history than any other American historian. This
collection of essays by some of his former students celebrates
Arnstein's inspirational teaching and writing with surveys and
analyses of various aspects of the social, cultural, economic and
political history of nineteenth and early twentieth-century
Britain. Nineteenth-century topics covered in the volume include
early Victorian caricatures and the thin legal lines that they
often trod; British Army fashion and its contribution to Royal
spectacles; Free Trade Radicals and how they viewed educational
reform and moral progress; the persistence of Chartist ideology
following the failure of the movement in 1848; Disraeli and Derby's
involvement with the Navy's administration; religious periodicals
and their influence; the myth of Bismarck as an honest broker of
peace and the subsequent collapse of the myth as a later source of
enmity in Anglo-German relations; the powerful mystique evoked back
in England by the London missionary societies Mongolian; missions;
Victorian urban planning and the re-introduction of the market
place.
