"This study has much to recommend it. It brings together architecture, material culture, liberalism, and politics in inventive ways. The prose is clear and lively, and Morrison's figures come across as quirky and touching, endearing combinations of verve and vision. This book models the sort of scholarly debate that one associates with the best examples of liberal thought. [...] a book that is at once academically rewarding and as delightful as an evening shared with friends.--Barbara Leckie, Carleton University ""Victorian Studies"" Victorian Liberalism and Material Culture is a masterful rapprochement between methodologies that hardly ever converge. Morrison gives us liberal political philosophy from the inside out, using archival research to peer into the domestic interiors and built environments that framed the influential thought of J.S. Mill, Matthew Arnold, John Morley, and Robert Browning. A crucial study for political theorists and material culture scholars alike.-- ""Lauren M. E. Goodlad, Rutgers University"""
