The contributors reveal 19th-century attitudes and beliefs about Islam and Muslims to demonstrate the plurality of approaches and representations of Islam in Britain’s past. Also bringing to life the stories and voices of early Muslim settlers and converts to Islam, this book examines the lived experience of Muslims in the Victorian period. Sources include political and academic writings, literature, travelogues, the press and other forms of popular culture. Intersectional themes include religion and religiosity, ‘race’ and ethnicity, gender, class, citizenship, empire and imperialism, and prejudice, discrimination and resilience.
Jamie Gilham is an independent historian, UK.
