520      $aThe Encyclopedia of the Victorian World is the
         first encyclopedia to cover the entire world during a period
         of astounding achievement and change: the reign of Great
         Britain's Queen Victoria, from 1837 to 1901. While focused
         on Britain, the book's scope is universal, with entries that
         represent nearly every nation and region and every field of
         human endeavor - politics, art, literature, music, science,
         philosophy, war, business, recreation, architecture, design
         - as well as everyday life. Here you'll find not only
         familiar names like Charles Dickens and Benjamin Disraeli
         but also lesser-known people like scientist Joseph Lister,
         whose name now adorns mouthwash bottles, or the Earl of
         Cardigan, whose name will be forever be associated with the
         Charge of the Light Brigade and the button-down sweater.
         From cholera to colonies, Lincoln to Lourdes, and Punch to
         the Punjab, The Encyclopedia of the Victorian world is the
         one-stop guide to the nineteenth century.
