Over a century after the death of Queen Victoria, historians are
busy re-appraising her age and achievements. However, our
understanding of the Victorian era is itself a part of history,
shaped by changing political, cultural and intellectual fashions.
From widespread reaction against Victorian values led by the
Bloomsbury set, through to the rehabilitation of Victorian
literature and architecture in the 1950s and 1960s, down to the
present enthusiasm for film and television adaptations of Charles
Dickens and George Eliot, our image of the Victorians has changed a
great deal. The Victorians since 1901 provides a much-needed survey
of these trends in modern historiography. Bringing together a group
of international scholars from the disciplines of history, English
literature, art history and cultural studies, it identifies and
assesses the principal influences on twentieth-century attitudes
towards the Victorians. Developments in academia, popular culture,
public history and the internet are covered in this important and
stimulating collection, and the final chapters anticipate future
global trends in interpretations of the Victorian era, making an
essential volume for students of Victorian Studies. -- .
