Coles Britain 1859: Custom, History, Modernity at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
1859 produced major works by writers including George Eliot, Charles Darwin, and Charles Dickens. They represent some of the greatest literary, political, social, and scientific achievements of the Victorian period, and have come to embody a substantial part of what we mean by the term 'Victorian'. In Custom and History, Fighting and Fraud: Britain in 1859, these enduring texts are read alongside key events of the year, other significant publications from authors such as Collins, Smiles, Mill, Tennyson, and Beeton, as well as newspapers and periodicals. Gail Marshall reveals a year which was innovatory but also deeply conflicted about how to accommodate and acknowledge change within contemporary thought and practice. Custom, as the year's predominant and most readily available historical form, enabled the Victorians of 1859 to negotiate with the past as they faced the future. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
