A Mad, Bad, And Dangerous People? : England, 1783-1846

Attribution
Boyd Hilton
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2006
Links
Description
The country’s population was growing at a rate not experienced by any comparable former society, and its manufacturing towns especially were mushrooming into filthy, disease-ridden, gin-sodden hell-holes, in turn provoking the phantasmagoria of a mad, bad, and dangerous people. Another consequence of these tensions was the intellectual engagement with society, as for example in the Romantic Movement, a literary phenomenon that brought English culture to the forefront of European attention for the first time.

Cultivating Victorians : Liberal Culture And The Aesthetic

Attribution
David Wayne Thomas
Publication Details
Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004
Description
In this provocative and historically detailed reading of the relations between Victorian liberalism and aestheticism, David Wayne Thomas challenges current critical assumptions concerning modern liberal agency and aesthetic experience more generally. Through meticulous examinations of literature, visual arts, popular culture, and politics, Cultivating Victorians shows how a mid-Victorian liberal discourse of individual “many-sidedness”–understood as a cultivated disposition toward self-criticism and open-mindedness–was taken up by artists and writers as they claimed for art a self-reflecting agency at the core of the liberal ideal.
