HIST 393 - Prejudice and Policy in Victorian Britain


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 Hours
Attribute: 4SS

New course added 05.13.08.

Proud of their liberal philosophy and representative government, many Victorian Britons, also betrayed an undercurrent of deep-rooted prejudice towards those they defined as “the other”: Catholics, the Irish, the working classes, colonial subjects, and, many times, women. We examine the nature of prejudice in Victorian Britain: its origins and its relationship with the fashionable science and “pseudo-science” of the day, its impact on legislation and modes of government, and its legacy. Enrollment limit: 12.
Instructor: D. Shull
