Dear Reader,
I hope that you will be impressed by the breadth of our
publishing represented by this catalogue. Nineteenth-century
studies is one of the strongest areas of our list both in terms of
our monographs and also our major works.
We have a number of monograph series with a strong focus on
the nineteenth century, especially our Science and Culture in
the Nineteenth Century series (see pp. 811) which will soon
be publishing its twenty-ffth volume. While other series are
not exclusively focused on this period most of the volumes
should appeal to Victorianists and other scholars of the
nineteenth century such as our Empires in Perspective series
(p. 3) and our Gender and Genre series (p. 6).
We also have some exciting major works including The
Making of the Modern Police, 17801914 (p. 16) and Travel
and Tourism in Britain, 17001914 (p. 17). Both these sets
main focus is frmly on this key century of change. For those
with literary interests we are also continuing with our ground-
breaking edition of The Selected Works of Margaret Oliphant,
one of the most prolifc and infuential literary fgures of the
age (p. 234).
Whatever your area of research I am sure that you will fnd
something of value in these pages. I would also be delighted
to hear from you with any suggestions for new works to add to
our ever-growing list.

Class and Colonialism in
Antarctic Exploration,
17501920
Ben Maddison
Between 1750 and 1920 over 15,000
people visited Antarctica. Yet,
despite such a large number the
historiography has ignored all but
a handful of celebrated explorers.
Sailers, sealers, whalers, cooks,
mechanics, engineers, stokers and
radio operators, as well as local
populations in southern Africa,
Australasia, the Pacifc and South
America were vital. In telling the
story of these forgotten facilitators,
Maddison argues that Antarctic
exploration can be seen as an offshoot
of European colonialism.

Respectability and the
London Poor, 17801870:
The Value of Virtue
Lynn MacKay
The population of London soared
during the Industrial Revolution and
the poorer areas became iconic places
of overcrowding and vice. Recent
studies of the civilizing mission of
middle-class Londoners determined
to instigate social reform, have treated
the poor as a single, uniform group.
Though a gradual shift towards
respectability is indisputable, MacKay
argues for a more fragmentary picture.
Focusing on the communities of
Westminster, she shows that many
of the plebeian populace retained
traditional working-class pursuits,
such as gambling, drinking and blood
sports.

Policing Prostitution,
18561886:
Deviance, Surveillance and Morality
Catherine Lee
Prostitution was rife in the cities of
Victorian Britain. Focusing on the
ports, dockyards and garrison towns
of Kent, this study examines the social
and economic factors that could cause
a woman to turn to prostitution, and
how such women were policed. Lee
demonstrates that nineteenth-century
prostitution is best understood as part
of the wider context of policing and
urban control.

Meat, Commerce and the City:
The London Food Market, 18001855
Robyn S Metcalfe
In 1800 Smithfeld Market was the
largest cattle market in the world. But
new concerns over sanitation, as well
as changing views about the purpose
of public space, meant that the market
became an issue of contention,
culminating in the Smithfeld Removal
Act of 1851. Metcalfe examines
the struggle between the markets
supporters and detractors and argues
that this demonstrates a major shift in
the way the urban landscape came to
be used.

The New Man, Masculinity
and Marriage in the Victorian
Novel
Tara MacDonald
Though the term New Man was
not coined until 1894, MacDonald
locates earlier examples of the
character throughout the Victorian
era, including the novels of Charles
Dickens, Anne Bronte, George Eliot
and George Gissing. By tracing the rise
of the New Man alongside novelistic
changes in the representations of
marriage, MacDonald shows how this
fgure encouraged Victorian writers to
reassess masculine behaviour and to
re-imagine the marriage-plot in light
of wider social changes.

The Lesbian Muse and Poetic
Identity, 18891930
Sarah Parker
Throughout history the poetic muse
has tended to be (a passive) female
and the poet male. Parker looks at
fn-de-sicle and modernist lyric poets
and identifes three key strategies:
the reconfguring of the muse as a
contemporary instead of a historical/
mythological fgure; the muse as a
male fgure; and an interchangeable
poet/muse relationship, granting
agency to both.

Art and Womanhood in
Fin-de-Siecle Writing:
The Fiction of Lucas Malet, 18801931
Catherine Delyfer
Malets novels reference contemporary
paintings and her often subversive
interpretations of them. The language
of the visual arts is used as a literary
device, disrupting the narrative
structure and creating a deliberate
stylistic tension. This is the frst
book-length study of Malets novels.
Delyfers analysis not only provides
an insight into the development of
her unique style, but demonstrates
her importance in the development of
Modernist female writing.

Kirby-Jane Hallum
Based on close readings of fve
Victorian novels, Hallum presents
an original study of the interaction
between popular fction, the
marriage market and the aesthetic
movement. She uses the texts to trace
the development of aestheticism,
examining the differences between

concerning Victorian womanhood and
of marriage as a commodity are also
discussed.

Womens University Fiction,
18801945
Anna Bogen
The rise of the middle classes brought
a sharp increase in the number of
young men and women able to attend
university. Developing in the wake
of this increase, the university novel
often centred on male undergraduates
at either Oxford or Cambridge. Bogen
argues that an analysis of the lesser
known female narratives can provide
new insights into education, religion,
politics, literary culture and sexuality.
Works by Virginia Woolf, Rosamond
Lehman and Vera Brittain as well as

Frost shows how aesthetics and
economics have been combined in
a great work of literature. Widely
acknowledged as one of the great
English novels, Middlemarch was
published at a time which saw the
emergence of a commodity-based
culture. Frost examines the history

consider the interpretation, reception
and consumption of the book.

Until Darwin, Science,

Until the publication of On the

theory was that humans were made

Astronomy in India,
17841876
Joydeep Sen
Indian scientifc achievements in
the early twentieth century are
well known, with a number of
heralded individuals making globally
recognized strides in the feld of
astrophysics. Covering the period
from the foundation of the Asiatick
Society in 1784 to the establishment
of the Indian Association for the
Cultivation of Science in 1876, Sen
explores the relationship between
Indian astronomers and the colonial
British. He shows that from the mid
nineteenth-century, Indians were
not passive receivers of European
knowledge, but active participants
in modern scientifc observational
astronomy.

The Medical Trade Catalogue
in Britain, 18701914
Claire L Jones
By the late nineteenth century,
advances in medical knowledge,
technology and pharmaceuticals
led to the development of a thriving
commercial industry. The medical
trade catalogue became one of the
most important means of promoting
the latest tools and techniques to
practitioners. Drawing on over 400
catalogues produced between 1870
and 1914, Jones presents a study
of the changing nature of medical
professionalism. She examines the
use of the catalogue in connecting
the previously separate worlds of
medicine and commerce and discusses
its importance to the study of print
history more widely.

The Making of Modern
Anthrax, 18751920: Uniting
Local, National and Global Histories of
Disease
James F Stark
From the mid-nineteenth century
onwards a number of previously
unknown conditions were recorded in
both animals and humans. Known by a
variety of names, and found in diverse
locations, by the end of the century
these diseases were united under the
banner of anthrax. Stark offers a fresh
perspective on the history of infectious
disease. He examines anthrax in
terms of local, national and global
signifcance, and constructs a narrative
that spans public, professional and
geographic domains.

Brewing Science, Technology
and Print, 17001880
James Sumner
How did the brewing of beer become
a scientifc process? Sumner explores
this question by charting the theory
and practice of the trade in Britain
and Ireland during the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries. From an
oral culture derived from home-based
skills, brewing industrialized rapidly
and developed an extensive trade
literature, based increasingly on the
authority of chemical experiment.
The role of taxation is also examined,
and the emergence of brewing as a
profession is set within its social and
technical context.
Fantastic scholarship has produced a
book that is essential reading for anyone
interested in a vital and fascinating slice
of British brewing history. Martyn

The Making of British
Anthropology, 18131871
Efram Sera-Shriar
Victorian anthropology has been
derided as an armchair practice,
distinct from the scientifc discipline
of the twentieth century. Sera-Shriar
argues that anthropology at this time
went through a process of innovation
which built on scientifcally grounded
observational study. Far from being
an evolutionary dead end, nineteenth-
century anthropology laid the
foundations for the feld-based science
of anthropology today.
A valuable contribution to the history
of the study of man over the long
nineteenth century. Sera-Shriar gives
us an intellectual lineage from Prichard
to Tylor, opening up new ways of
thinking about a form of thought
that undoubtedly lay at the heart of
imperial expansion and governance.

played a part in the debates that took

small, large, past and future to
survey Victorian conceptions of what

Institutionalizing the Insane
in Nineteenth-Century
England
Anna Shepherd
The nineteenth century brought
an increased awareness of mental
disorder, epitomized in the Asylum
Acts of 1808 and 1845. The desire
to contain or cure the afficted led
to an unprecedented growth of
asylums across England and Wales.
Shepherd compares and contrasts
two very different institutions to
provide a nuanced account of the
nineteenth-century mental health
system. In doing so she explores issues
including the patient population, staff,
treatments and therapeutic outcomes,
incorporating an interrogation of the
accepted roles of class and gender.

policy in nineteenth-century Britain.
This is a fascinating, original study. It

Dialogue, Didacticism and

Dialogues in the Age of Revolution
Adrian J Wallbank
Dialogue was a pivotal genre for
the spread of Enlightenment ideas.
Focusing on non-canonical British
writers Wallbank examines the
evolution of dialogue as a genre
during the Romantic period. He
argues that dialogue often adopted
a didactic stance explicitly geared
towards making an argument sound
persuasive, and demonstrates its
infuence in the development of such
innovations as the realist novel,
philosophical perspectivism and the
advent of psychoanalysis.

Guilty Money: The City of London
in Victorian and Edwardian Culture,
18151914
Ranald C Michie
Michie explores two traditional views
of the City as a global fnancial centre:
London as a theatre of corruption,
fraud and scandal; and as a place of
unbridled success and power for the
ambitious elite. Marrying literary
and economic analysis, Guilty Money
foregrounds the limitless possibilities
of the novel as a work of historical
documentation. This is an engaging
study of the place occupied by the City
of London within British cultural life
during the Victorian and Edwardian
periods.
Both informative and witty, Michies
book is a must for historians of
fnance as well as for those of culture.

The Heroic Life of
George Gissing
Pierre Coustillas
George Gissing (18571903) lived a
life worthy of the plot from one of his
own novels. An exceptionally gifted
man, born into relatively genteel
comfort, he nonetheless managed to
enter into two disastrous marriages
with working-class women, got thrown
out of university for stealing, spent
a month doing hard labour in prison
and died before the age of ffty. This
ambitious three-volume biography
examines both his life and writing
chronologically and in close detail.

Daniel OConnell and the
Anti-Slavery Movement:
The Saddest People the Sun Sees
Christine Kinealy
This study offers invaluable insight
into a much-neglected area of
historical research on this nineteenth-
century political fgure. Previous
histories on OConnell have dealt
predominantly with his attempts to
secure a repeal of the 1800 Act of
Union and on his success in achieving
Catholic Emancipation in 1829,
Kinealy focuses instead on OConnells
contribution to the anti-slavery
movement in the United States.
valuably brings together OConnells
very active career against human
bondage and for racial equality in the
nineteenth-century Atlantic World.

The Making of the Modern
Police, 17801914
General Editor: Paul Lawrence
The modern professional police force
is probably one of Britains most
signifcant exports. In little over a
century, Britain went from having
a largely amateur and local law
enforcement system to the type of
police force we still recognize today.
The frst modern police force of its
kind, it has become the model which
has been adapted and copied across
the world.
Over six themed volumes this edited
collection of pamphlets, government
publications, printed ephemera and
manuscript sources looks at the
development of the frst modern police
force.

The Urban Working Class in
Britain, 18301914
Editor: Andrew August
In 1830, with the Industrial
Revolution in full-swing, working-class
life in Britains cities was in a state
of fux. In all the major urban areas
across Britain working-class men,
women and children experienced both
radical and conservative infuences
affecting every aspect of their lives.
This four volume primary resource
collection is the most comprehensive
of its kind and includes a multitude of
sources that allows the user to chart
the squalor, the noise, the confict,
the aspiration and the diversity of the

British Socialist Fiction,
18841914
Editor: Deborah Mutch
Socialism in late Victorian and
Edwardian Britain was a highly literate
movement. Every socialist group
produced some form of written text
a periodical, pamphlets or books
through which their particular brand
of politics was promoted. Periodicals
included serials and short fction
written by and for socialists. This
fction often carries a clear political
message illustrating the concerns
of the movement and those of the
individual authors.
Many of the authors included in this
collection were key fgures within
Socialism and these texts will shed
fresh light on their views and attitudes.
Includes works by William Morris,
Maxim Grky, Robert Blatchford and
Teddy Ashton [Charles Allen Clarke].

Coal in Victorian Britain
General Editor: John Benson
By the time the First World War broke
out in 1914, nearly two-thirds of all the
coal entering world trade was mined
in Britain, and coal mining accounted
for one in ten of Great Britains male
population in employment.
This collection provides a wide variety
of sources relating to the Victorian
coal industry. They have been selected
to refect both the diversity and change
taking place within the coal industry,
the communities which serviced it
and the industrial relations practices
which emerged to regulate it during
the course of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.

The Women Aesthetes:
British Writers, 18701900
General Editor: Jane Spirit
The aesthetic movement dominated
the closing decades of the nineteenth
century. It was signifcant for the key
role women played in it. A reaction
to the commercial growth and
industrialization of the nineteenth
century, the movement favoured
beauty over utility.
This is an edited collection of fction,
poetry, plays and essays which is
representative of women writers
involved in the aesthetic movement.
The collection Includes works by Edith
Nesbit, Vernon Lee and Ouida. Each
volume covers a particular decade. The
third volume focuses on writers whose
work appeared in The Yellow Book,
that benchmark of aestheticism. Each
writer is introduced and their critical
reception assessed, whilst wider

literary development is also explored.

The Great Exhibition:
A Documentary History

The Great Exhibition of 1851 was
the outstanding public event of the
Victorian era. Housed in Joseph
Paxtons glass and iron Crystal
Palace, it presented a vast array of
objects, technologies and works of
art from around the world. The frst
industrial exhibition of international
scope, contemporary commentators
attributed much wider signifcance
to it.
But the Great Exhibitions role and
long-term infuence is far from clear-
cut: it proved highly controversial,
and the disputes in contemporary
literature allow a signifcant insight
into areas of political, social and
religious contention in the mid-
nineteenth century.

Travel and Tourism in

Editors: Susan Barton and
Allan Brodie
The British led the way in
holidaymaking. From the 1830s
the railways brought a transport
revolution, opening up the chance for
travel to all classes. As tourism grew
in popularity, a whole new industry
developed. Many new large, lively
towns grew up around spas and at the
seaside to meet the needs of visitors.
Guidebooks were produced, aimed at
all sorts of holidaymakers and the frst
travel agencies emerged.
This four-volume primary resource
collection brings together a diverse
range of texts on the various forms
of transport used by tourists, the
destinations they visited, the role of
entertainments and accommodation
and how these affected the way that

Panoramas, 17871900:
Texts and Contexts
General Editor: Laurie Garrison
The panorama was a massive circular
painting whose effect on the viewer
was deliberately enhanced through
an original apparatus for viewing it.
Early exhibitions of these paintings
were so successful that a purpose-
built rotunda was erected in Leicester
Square, with other venues cropping
up across London before spreading to
America and the rest of Europe.
The panorama is primarily a visual
medium, but a variety of forms of
print culture mediated its viewing;
these included adverts in newspapers,
reviews, handbills, short accounts
of views on display and most
importantly, a descriptive programme
accompanied by an annotated key
to the canvas. This is the frst ever
collection of texts related to the
panorama.

Writings of Shaker Apostates
and Anti-Shakers, 17821850
Editor: Christian Goodwillie
In the late eighteenth century a
small Shaker community travelled
to America under the leadership of
Mother Ann Lee. The American
communities they founded were
based on ideals of pacifsm, celibacy
and gender equality. Their ethos and
organization had a practical infuence
on many other communities and on
society as a whole. Yet they were not
without their detractors.
This three volume collection presents
writings from a broad cross-section
of those who opposed the Shakers
and their way of life, which was based
on gender equality, celibacy and
pacifsm. The collection provides a
rare opportunity for scholars to read
primary sources on a specifc group in
American communal history.

Editor: Mire n Fhlathin
This edition draws together a selection
of Anglo-Indian poetry from the
Romantic era and the nineteenth
century. The poets engage with India
in different ways: some deal with
the experience of migration, others
respond to the Indian landscape,
whilst the wider project of British rule
in India also provides an important
theme. This extensive body of
literature is not well known, and can
be accessed only in rare books and
periodicals of the nineteenth century.

to be an invaluable reference point as

Editors: John Marriott and
Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay
This six-volume set of scarce primary
source materials seeks to explore the
nature of the relationship between
Britain and India at the height of
imperial expansion. Public health and
sanitation, education, governance, law,
policing and trade were defned and
administered by an imperial authority
using models created from domestic
experience. But these were modifed
by negotiations with indigenous
peoples and by the practical realities
of colonial rule, and then reached back
into the heart of empire to inform
metropolitan development.

British Travel Writing from
China, 17981901
Editor: Elizabeth H Chang
This fve-volume reset edition draws
together British travel writings about
China from a range of different
sources. Although often marked by
personal prejudice or ignorance, a
large degree of thoughtful exchange
with the land and people of Qing
Dynasty China is evident. From the
earliest offcial expeditions to China,
until the Boxer Uprising, the writings
here represent works of compelling
scholarly interest, but which are not
widely available.
The sources reveal the conceptual
importance of the Chinese
empire to the development of the
nineteenth-century European world
consciousness. Scholars from a
variety of disciplines have noted the
absence of materials on China as a
major obstacle to a more complete
understanding of Sino-British
relations in the age of empires.

Victorian Science and
Literature
General Editors: Gowan Dawson
and Bernard Lightman
Science had a fundamental effect on
the Victorian world. Previously, used
to refer to knowledge of a quite general
kind, during the nineteenth century
science became more formalized as it
grew to encompass new and emerging
disciplines.
The growing infuence of science on
Victorian culture can be seen in almost
every aspect of life; from industry,
urbanization and the spread of
imperialism, to religion and the impact
of Darwinism. In turn literature
helped to shape the new sciences, with
scientifc discourses relying heavily on
literary precedents. Each volume in
this collection focuses on an important
theme from current scholarship.
The editors have wisely focused on texts
that are diffcult to fnd. Each volume
features an introduction that maps out
the landscape within which the readings
serve as markers. Highly recommended.

Spiritualism, Mesmerism and
the Occult, 18001920
Editor: Shane McCorristine
This edition provides an important
insight into the dark areas between
Victorian science, medicine and
religion. To the Victorians their quest
was to prove the existence of the
supernatural through the application
of scientifc principles. Their emphasis
was frmly on proof rather than faith
and led to the emergence of psychical
research as a discipline.
The rare material in this collection
is organized thematically and spans
the period from initial mesmeric
experiments to the decline of the
Society for Psychical Research. It
includes a wide variety of print and
manuscript sources which illustrate
the range of the debate.

New Woman Fiction,
18811899
General Editor: Carolyn W de la
L Oulton
The fgure of the New Woman is
notoriously hard to pin down. She
was variously derided in the late
nineteenth century press as mannish
and unattractive, over educated and
hysterical, unsexed and oversexed.
Not surprisingly in the face of such
hostility, not all late Victorian
feminists identifed themselves as
New Women, but all had an interest
in engaging with the fgure presented
to them and according to which they
were judged. The texts published in
this series indicate a complex, often
tangled, web of questions about
womans potential and the social
forces that continued to shape her
experience.

Varieties of Womens
Sensation Fiction, 18551890
General Editor: Andrew Maunder
Sensation novels were extremely
popular, but were seen as a corrupting
infuence by the authorities and
were regularly lambasted for their
literary style and melodramatic plots.
After their initial popularity, these
novels fell into relative obscurity and
were rarely considered in studies of
Victorian literature.
This modern critical edition contains
complete novels reprinted with
annotations and an introduction
to each novel. The set also features
one volume focused exclusively
on the sensation debate, with
impassioned articles by literary critics,
psychologists and the clergy, helping
the reader to view the novels in
context.

Newgate Narratives
Editor: Gary Kelly
In 1902, Londons Newgate Prison
was demolished. The building was a
cultural symbol, its grim silhouette
loomed over factual and fctional
contributions to the prison reform
debate which extended through
the late eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. Commentary ranged from
gallows broadsides and last dying
words; through crusading journalism
and parliamentary reports; to best-
selling novels and hit melodramas.
This body of Newgate literature has
long been out of print but it was
widely known by all classes of readers
in its time and was the context for
the crime literature of Dickens,
Dostoevsky, Dumas, Hugo and Zola.
This fve-volume edition presents a
representative body of Romantic and
early Victorian crime literature.

The Unpublished Letters of
Thomas Moore
Editor: Jeffery W Vail
Thomas Moore (17791852) was one
of the most prominent authors of the
early nineteenth century, even being
referred to as the National Poet of
Ireland. His circle of acquaintance
was huge and included Lord Byron
with whom he almost fought a duel
and Mary Shelley, as well as many
fgures in English and Irish politics.
Moore found fame, if not fortune, as
a lyricist for Irish songs. It is for these
that he is best remembered, although
he later focused on writing political
satires. Moore travelled extensively
across North America and was greatly
alarmed by Thomas Jefferson. This
collection presents over seven hundred
previously unpublished letters from
the UK, Ireland and America. Also
included are excerpts from hundreds
of Moores letters written to his music
publisher, James Power, which have
not been published since 1854.

Voyage, 18311836
Editor: Katharine Anderson
HMS Beagle has entered the collective
imagination as the ship that carried
Charles Darwin to the Galapagos,
triggering his later work on the theory
of natural selection. Darwin and
FitzRoys separate accounts of the
voyage were published as Narrative
of the Surveying Voyage of His
Majestys Ships Adventure and
Beagle Between the Years 1826 and
1836 (1839). Darwins version has
never been out of print. In contrast,
this set presents the frst critical
edition of the remaining texts from
1839: FitzRoys account of the second
voyage, his detailed appendices and
the account of the 182630 voyage
by Phillip Parker King, captain of
HMS Adventure. Together they give
an unparalleled example of British
scientifc exploration.

The Collected Short Stories of
George Moore: Gender and Genre

have not been readily available. This
fve-volume critical edition addresses
