HON 202E. Global Cities: Life in Victorian London

3.00
Life in Victorian London is a cultural and social examination of London from 1837 to 1901 examining the way people of all classes lived and worked. This course takes the Victorian city of London as a point of departure to explore the human experience in an interdisciplinary manner, looking at art, architecture, music, literature, technology, clothing, food, sports, and work conditions. Emphasis will be on drawing evidence from primary and secondary sources. Several quest lecturers will be brought in as experts on Jack the Ripper, clothing, and other topics. Numerous photographs of Victorian London sites, taken specifically for this course, will be used. The final exam is a hands-on project.
