HIS 683
Victorian Britain
This course examines the development of Britain from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 to the early 20th century. During this period, the U.K.'s economic strength and international influence were unparalleled, but the country also faced serious social and political tensions fuelled by rapid industrialization and urbanization. This course explores the consequences of these developments through topics such as political radicalism and reform, social class identities, imperial cultures, domesticity, poverty, and consumerism.
