Course Description

Instructor: Peter Campos

Until Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Victoria was the longest reigning monarch in British history. Her 63 year reign was characterized by massive changes in society that spurred the modernization of Britain and the world. It was a time when Britannia ruled the waves and the sun never set on the British Empire. The Industrial Revolution, Suffrage movements, abolition of slavery, flowering of literature, and Gilbert and Sullivan belied the darker underbelly of Victorian society. We will examine the personal nature of Victoria and the major features of the British Empire at its height during her reign.
