Abstract

"Time Travelers is a book about the different and complex ways in which Victorians approached the past, offering a vivid new picture of the Victorian world and its historical obsessions. Although the nineteenth century was not the first to be fascinated by history, the intensity and range of the Victorian preoccupations with the past was unprecedented and of lasting importance. It gave rise, for example, to many of our modern disciplines, and the accessibility of these new pasts to ever broader social groups gave them unprecedented power to shape culture in ways that continue to structure our own engagements with the past"--
