Description: | Victor Neuberg (1924-1996). His principal area of interest and research was nineteenth century popular culture and literature and his publications include works on English and American chapbooks, the development of mass education and a traveller's guide to the Western Front. Apart from his teaching and publishing interests Victor Neuberg had an enduring interest in the history of secularism and radical freethinking, subjects which are represented in the collection now housed in the University Library. This includes books and periodicals concerning issues of religion and atheism, material by and about Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant as well as older material relating to Socinianism, Unitarianism and Deism in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The collection will be of interest to those researching issues of religion and 'free thought', the debates in Victorian Britain on the place of religion in society and the influence of radicalism. | Subjects: | Liberalism Culture Trinity Politics Religion | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 0116 252 2066 | Telephone: | 0116 252 2043 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:7248 | Go to resource |
