This volume concerns judges, judgment and judgmentalism. It studies the Victorians as judges across a range of important fields, including the legal and aesthetic spheres, and within imaginative literature. It examines how various specialist forms of judgement were conceived and operated, and how the propensity to be judgemental was viewed.

James Gregory is Associate Professor in Modern British History at the University of Plymouth. Among his publications is The Poetry and the Politics: Radical Reform in Victorian England (2014). Daniel J.R. Grey is Lecturer in World History since 1800 at the University of Plymouth. Among his recent publications are articles in Cultural and Social History, History Workshop Journal and Media History. Annika Bautz is Associate Professor in English and Head of the School of Humanities and Performing Arts at the University of Plymouth.
