An Age of Equipoise? Reassessing mid-Victorian Britain

About the author

Martin Hewitt

Summary

"The Age of Equipoise" by W.L. Burn became a central text in the canon of interpretations of the Victorian period. These essays engage, to varying degrees, with the notion of "equipoise" and explore how it can help illuminate the mid-Victorian period in ways which alternative formulations cannot.
