OverviewFrom chatelaines to whale blubber, ice making machines to stained glass, this six-volume collection will be of interest to the scholar, student or general reader alike - anyone who has an urge to learn more about Victorian things. The set brings together a range of primary sources on Victorian material culture and discusses the most significant developments in material history from across the nineteenth century. The collection will demonstrate the significance of objects in the everyday lives of the Victorians and addresses important questions about how we classify and categorise nineteenth-century things. The volumes are organized thematically and focus on key elements of materials, processes and production. Sources for each volume have been selected and critically introduced by a group of leading experts working across a variety of scholarly disciplines. Series titles include Science and Medicine, Invention and Technology, Victorian Arts, Raw Materials, Manufactured Things and Fashionable Things.
