Politics and the Victorian City

Abstract

Urban history progresses through the work of many different types of historian. Some think of themselves as primarily urban historians, the zealots in a novel faith. Others explore problems that happen to have occurred in cities, potential converts by association. Still more have an ambit that is society-wide and ‘pass through’ cities haphazardly, the casual visitors. All have something to say to us. This is especially true in the study of urban politics, where until recently it has been the ‘politics’ and not the ‘urban’ which has been the point of focus. The student of urban politics may be confronted with books on re- ligion, class, values, institutions and political systems, none of which may be primarily urban in orientation. But all of them may be grist to his mill.
