Understanding the Victorians paints a vivid portrait of an era of
dramatic change, combining broad survey with close analysis and
introducing students to the critical debates on the nineteenth
century taking place among historians today. The volume encompasses
all of Great Britain and Ireland over the whole of the Victorian
period and gives prominence to social and cultural topics alongside
politics and economics and emphasises class, gender, and racial and
imperial positioning as constitutive of human relations. This third
edition is fully updated with new chapters on emotion and on
Britain's relationship with Europe as well as added discussions of
architecture, technology, and the visual arts. Attention to the
current concerns and priorities of professional historians also
enables readers to engage with today's historical debates. Starting
with the Queen Caroline Affair in 1820 and coming up to the start
of World War I in 1914, thematic chapters explore the topics of
space, politics, Europe, the empire, the economy, consumption,
class, leisure, gender, the monarchy, the law, arts and
entertainment, sexuality, religion, and science. With a clear
introduction outlining the key themes of the period, a detailed
timeline, and suggestions for further reading and relevant internet
resources, this is the ideal companion for all students of the
nineteenth century. Discover more from Susie by exploring our
forthcoming Routledge Historical resource on British Society,
edited by Susie Steinbach and Martin Hewitt. Find out more about
