In the last twenty years one of the classical arenas for British
historical writing - the politics of Victorian Britain - has ceased
to be an obvious or self-evidently important subject. Facing up to
this challenge, the historians who have contributed to this volume
explore central aspects of that history. They continue to uphold
the centrality of politics to Victorian Britain, but suggest that
politics must be viewed more broadly, as a concern pervading almost
all spheres of life, just as Victorians themselves would have done.
In this way politics penetrates into Victorian culture. 'Politics'
can lead us into the ideas governing political action itself;
political ideas; international relations; the eduction of men and
women; the writing of history and of literature; engagement with
past political theorists; and the ideas behind professionalization.
Such are some of the themes taken up here. The specific occasion
for these essays was as a tribute to the memory of the late Colin
Matthew, one of the most eminent recent historians of Victorian
Britain, who was himself determined to uphold the contemporary
relevance of Victorian political tradition, and to explore the
interface between 'politics' and 'culture'. Reflection on his
intellectual achievement is a second distinctive component of this
book.
