Description: Victorian Britain, at the head of the vast British Empire, was the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world, yet many of its citizens were denied basic civil rights. 'At the Margins of Victorian Britain' focuses on the political means of policing unwanted 'others' in Victorian society: the Irish, Catholics and Jews, atheists, prostitutes and homosexuals.
