Описание: At the beginning of the Victorian period, most of England's population lived in the countryside; by its end, the balance had tipped towards living in urban and suburban spaces. In the context of this rapidly changing world, Rachel Worth explores the ways in which the clothing of the rural working classes was represented visually in paintings and photographs and by the literary sources of documentary, autobiography and fiction, as well as by the collection and conservation of garments of rural provenance by museums.
Worth explores the ways in which clothing and its representations throw light on wider social and cultural issues, as well as how 'traditional' styles of dress, like men's smock-frocks or women's sun-bonnets, came to be replaced by 'fashion'. Her compelling study adds breadth to the history of dress by considering it within its social and cultural contexts, and shows how clothing enriches our understanding of Victorian social history.

This major new work makes available a large amount of significant documentary material on the life and work of the 19th-century novelist. This is contextualised by modern analysis by a leading critic.
Geraldine Jewsbury's works focused on the chief concerns of her day including social change, the education of women, marriage, and faith.
Jewsbury (1812 - 80) was English novelist, book reviewer, publisher's reader, and prominent critic. She is best known for popular novels including Zoe: the History of Two Lives, The Sorrows of Gentility, The Half Sisters, and Right or Wrong. She was also noted for her critical literary reviews for the Athenaeum.
She took it on herself to encourage other women to reach their full potential, and her influence mattered.
This gathering of Jewsbury's letters, short stories, and essays makes long-unavailable material newly accessible for scholars, students, and general readers, with modern introductions and notes.

As London became the first major city of the nineteenth century, new models of representation emerged in the journalism, poetry, fiction, and social commentary of the period. Simon Joyce argues that such writing reflected a persistent worry about the problem of crime but was never able to contain it. Such commentators as Wordsworth, Dickens, Mayhew, Stevenson, Conan Doyle, Booth, and Wilde all struggled with the same questions about how to represent London and the relations among its varied populations, yet their accounts often undermined one another.
Whereas Victorian social science presumed a correlation between criminal activity, geographical residence, and social class, the popular literature of the period often sought just as strenuously to deny the link, giving rise to privileged and pathological offenders like Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll. This in turn shifted attention away from the urban slums that had been the setting for the so-called Newgate novels of the 1830s and 1840s. By 1900, crime appears as a distinctively modern problem, requiring large-scale solutions and government intervention in place of an older approach that was rooted in personal morality or philanthropic paternalism.
Illustrating "literary geography" in which physical space is not merely a backdrop for the plot but an integral element in shaping textual meaning Simon Joyce's Capital Offenses reveals how certain geographical patterns can not only give weight to interpretive meanings already suggested in the texts but also enable us to read them in a new and surprising light.
Simon Joyce is Associate Professor of English and Director of Literary and Cultural Studies at the College of William and Mary.

In the nineteenth century, a woman who could prove a man had broken his promise to marry her was legally entitled to compensation for damages. Bridging the gap between history and literature, Ginger S. Frost offers an in-depth examination of these breaches of promise and compares actual with fictional cases. Althought the most important factor in determining the outcome of such trials was gender, class was also vital in assessing the suitability of mates. Promises Broken highlights the courtship practices of lower- and middle- class Victorians, a group much neglected in previous scholarship.
