From Queen Anne to Queen Victoria. Readings in 18th and 19th century British Literature and Culture

The present, seventh, volume of the series From Queen Anne to Queen Victoria offers profitable re-visitations of old themes, as well as explorations of new themes and problems. The volume focuses on the literature, culture, and political and social history of Britain in a period when the structures of industrial modernity were being created, and examines Britain’s imprint on the global cultural heritage, including class, gender and race-based hierarchies that persist in varying degrees into the present.
