To what extent is it possible to know the past or to know other
cultures? Can one describe the past without imposing one's own
cultural, political, social, or personal preconceptions? Testing
the current skepticism that insists that it is impossible not to
read one's own moment onto other times and cultures, the essays in
this collection use the Victorian era as a means of developing a
theory and critique of historical reclamation.In Knowing the Past,
a distinguished group of Victorian scholars reflect on the
Victorian past and examine the Victorians' own sophisticated
contributions to debates about historical and cultural knowledge.
Confronting, confirming, and opposing the skeptics, the essays
provide close readings of particular texts. They encompass the
larger constellation of ideas and questions that went into the
making of the texts while participating in larger theoretical
debates about knowledge of the past and other cultures.
