Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the Victorians through their materiality, and asks how objects were part of being Victorian, and how reading the Victorians through their possessions, can deepen our understanding of Victorian culture. This interdisciplinary collection looks at the historical, cultural and literary debris that makes up the background of Victorian life.
