Podcasts about victorian city

This week, Sarah and Amelia meet at different ends of the sleepiness spectrum to discuss the fantastic worldbuilding and historical resource that is The Victorian City by Judith Flanders. We talk about sewage seepage, watercress sellers, the infernal din of the city, and a couple of kinky Victorians who left detailed diaries behind. Amelia picks a fight with Victorian street sellers and accurately remembers all the members of the British royal family. Sarah has traumatic flashbacks to reading Bleak House and immediately forgets basic facts from her history degree. We both are very tasteful and respectful and not at all ghoulish about Queen Elizabeth's death. Media discussed: The Victorian City: Everyday Life in Dickens' London by Judith Flanders "Stuff vs Theory" by Judith Flanders "Class and Gender in Victorian England: The Diaries of Arthur J. Munby and Hannah Cullwick" by Leonore Davidoff, originally published in Feminist Studies: Spring, 1979, Vol. 5, Issue 1.

Whitechapel, a town wreaking of sin and poverty, suffered under the weight of five gruesome murders at the end of 1888. One man rose from the darkness to save Whitechapel from the pits of despair with his fistfuls of cash: good-old Jack the Tipper.Today we ask, “What if Jack the Ripper, instead of committing a series of murders in Whitechapel, turned his attention towards philanthropy?”Cody discusses social reform in Whitechapel after the murders. Colin dishes on the dark side of philanthropy. Want to join the OUAT community? Have an idea for a change in history?

The ‘Solitude and Modernity’ colloquium was co-sponsored by ‘Diseases of Modern Life’ (Oxford) and ‘Pathologies of Solitude’ (Queen Mary University of London). This collaboration resulted in a one-day programme which brought together researchers working on solitude and loneliness, in literature and society, from the nineteenth century to the present. Following literary and historical sessions on the Victorian City and Modern Britain, the event concluded with a discussion on enforced solitude, from the perspectives of first-hand experience of incarceration and forensic psychotherapy. This discussion Gwen Adshead (West London Trust and Central North West London Trust) and researcher Shokoufeh Sakhi (Toronto) made up the final portion of the day. This talk contains information and language that may trouble some listeners.

The evolution of hospitals’ form and function was not the least of these. Under the influence of social reformers, innovative architects, and, not least, medical practitioners themselves, the theory and practice of hospital care were adapted to changing ideas about physical and moral hygiene. This podcast focuses on the development of one such institution: the General Infirmary in the industrial powerhouse of Leeds, which expanded along with the city’s population. Its buildings, designed by George Gilbert Scott, represented the most up-to-date medical theory--and most grand architectural invention--of late Victorian Britain, and served as a monument to how this prosperous society desired to see itself.

By 1900 Britain had produced the world's largest cities and the first industrial cities. These phenomena led to vast technical, social and architectural challenges. Victorian architects and engineers met these with some of the most impressive feats of construction since the...
