Victorian Biography Reconsidered: A Study of Nineteenth-Century 'Hidden' Lives
Atkinson, Juliette (British Academy Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, University College London)
Through an examination of numerous biographies, from the lives of working-class scientists to minor women writers, Victorian Biography Reconsidered examines how and why nineteenth-century biographers challenged the contemporary obsession with 'Great Men' and brought to public attention the lives of neglected or unknown men and women.
