On Liberties: Victorian Liberals And Their Legacies

This inter-disciplinary conference aims to explore the various implications of the idea of the 'liberal' in the Victorian period, but also its multifarious legacies: its legacies for modern politics, for the ways we conceptualize the Victorian period today, and most fundamentally for our notions of broader categories and concepts we still associate with 'the liberal' and with liberalism: knowledge, licence, education, and human freedom.
