- Title
Why the Notion of Victorian Britain Does Make Sense.
- Authors
Hewitt, Martin
- Abstract
This article analyzes the concept and culture of the Victorian period. The observation of Richard Price about Victorian as a cultural period is presented. The years around the mid-1830s and those around 1900 can be considered as part of the transition from one cultural configuration to another. Configurations that were considered as basis for periodization include institutional forms, legal frameworks, conceptual understandings and rhetorics, regimes of knowledge, technological capacities and characteristic cultural forms and processes.
