The City as Hero: Victorian London in Life and Literature

http://www.gober.net/victorian/

This site was created by Susan Horton from the English Department of the University of Massachusetts at Boston for a course that she teaches. Although some of the details on the site are specific to the course, information of general interest is also available. The site is especially geared towards the study of Victorian towns, particularly London. The site has an annotated timeline of Victorian history, which includes links to appropriate web sites. A lengthy bibliography has also been created. This has been divided into categories, and resources are arranged alphabetically within these categories. There is also a list of links to online resources. The site includes a section of student research projects. This site provides an interesting general introduction to Victorian urban themes.
