Defining the Victorian Nation Class, Race, Gender and the Reform Act of 1867

Defining the Nation offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant pieces of legislation in nineteenth-century Britain. Hall, McClelland and Rendall demonstrate that the Second Reform Act was marked by controversy about the extension of the vote, new concepts of masculinity and the masculine voter, the beginnings of the women's suffrage movement, and a parallel debate about the meanings and forms of national belonging. Fascinating illustrations illuminate the argument, and a detailed chronology, biographical notes and selected bibliography offer further support to the student reader.Hall, Catherine is the author of 'Defining the Victorian Nation Class, Race, Gender and the Reform Act of 1867' with ISBN 9780521572187 and ISBN 0521572185.
