The Interdisciplinary First World War Classroom – A Reflection and Response
In this article, three historians discuss how they approach teaching the First World War. Carolyn Malone sets the stage by outlining the topics, sources, assignments, and methods that she has used to teach the First World War in her course, ‘Britain in the World Wars’. Taking a war studies approach, the course introduces students to different facets of this total war and its impact on people and society. It emphasises topics from history and othe…
The UK School Meals Service 1944–Present
This article explores the sensory and emotional dimensions of the UK School Meals Service (SMS) since 1944, arguing that the lived experiences of pupils, teachers, parents, catering staff, and policymakers have fundamentally shaped its history. The study combines archival documentary research with new oral history interviews and ethnographic case studies. It investigates how sensory experiences - such as taste, smell, and sound - have influenced …
Senses, Emotions and Experiences in the History of Education
‘Not in the college but city’
This article explores in what ways and to what extent it is possible to talk about ‘higher learning’ and ‘higher education’ in Manchester before 1824, the date formally chosen by the University of Manchester to mark its foundation. It considers diverse sites and institutions, revealing a complex, interconnected web of knowledge spaces – dissenting academies, teaching hospitals, learned societies, independent libraries and individual initiatives –…
Through Their Eyes
Embodied practice in a disembodied time
The COVID‐19 pandemic and related restrictions imposed in the UK had a significant impact on social work practice with children and young people. As has been widely reported, practitioners were deprived of multisensory information in their assessments and of opportunities to connect with children. In this article, we consider data from Scotland, created through interviews with practitioners during May 2021, a time of tentative optimism between pe…

The Indian Civil Service, Classical Studies, and an Education in Empire, 1890–1914
The years between 1890 and 1914 saw several prominent studies from statesmen-administrators comparing British India with the Roman empire. These were not the self-congratulatory comparisons of earlier decades, but serious comparative studies aimed at learning practical lessons from Rome's successes and failures. To gain a clearer picture of the significance of these analogies and how they were used, the Indian Civil Service (ICS) examination pape…
Student Exchange and British Government Policy
When the United Kingdom has figured in the modern history of study abroad, it has featured almost exclusively in the role of host country with little attention paid to the study abroad patterns of UK students. In order to gain a rounded picture of the UK’s role in post-war study abroad, this article explores the position of the UK within the context of the rich data gathered by UNESCO. It argues that there is strong evidence that the UK was actua…
Classical authors and “scientific” research in the early years of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, 1781–1800
While a clear distinction was drawn between “classical learning” and “modern science” at Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the early nineteenth century, we see no such contrast being made in other spaces of knowledge making, such as the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society. Drawing on Bacon's insistence that his inductive method should apply across all fields of knowledge, early members of the Society interpreted “science” as referrin…
Ancient and modern knowledges
In this editorial, we introduce the main themes discussed in this special issue and advocate for a more integrative history of knowledge across disciplinary boundaries through a reconsideration of the language of 'ancient' and 'modern'. We discuss how the essays collected in this special issue seek to go beyond the recurring metaphor of quarrel and competition between antiquity and modernity, and the related representations of key individuals and…
Stoicism in Victorian culture
Historians of philosophy and of Victorian culture alike have found it hard to agree on a definition of Stoicism which captures the complexity of its cultural reception in nineteenthcentury Britain. Should we restrict ourselves to philosophical ideas which identify themselves clearly with the various Greek and Roman Stoic writers, or should we rather concern ourselves with the examination of a wider cultural attitude towards pain, difficulty and t…
Marconi, masculinity and the heroic age of science
In September 1899, at the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) in Dover, Guglielmo Marconi’s wireless telegraphy system was used to transmit messages across the English Channel (and across a national border) for the first time. This achievement represented a highly effective performance of scientific masculinity and constitutes a key turning point in an important struggle between competing interpretation…

Foppish Masculinity, Generational Identity and the University Authorities in Eighteenth-Century Oxbridge
This article aims to bring Oxford and Cambridge back into the debate about elite masculine socialization in eighteenth-century England. The ancient universities in this period are too often described by historians as bastions of moral stability and man making. Here, a more complicated view of the universities' role in shaping the identities of young men in the eighteenth century is presented, which takes into account the significant effect of ris…
Thomas Arnold, Christian Manliness and the Problem of Boyhood
Thomas Arnold is a well-known character in Victorian Studies. His life and work are usually discussed in relation to his role as Headmaster of Rugby School and the development of the English public school system. His importance in the history of Victorian manliness has, by contrast, been somewhat obscured. When scholars do comment on his highly influential idea of Christian manliness, they tend to assume it was an overtly gendered ideal, opposed …

Freud's Influence on the Changed Attitude Toward Sex
The strength of reactions, pro and con, to Freud's theories may be attributed in large part to the traditional sanctity and yet obscenity of the subject of sex and Freud's extravagant presentation of the subject. Freud's art is the poetry of psychic processes which lie in the deepest and most mysterious recesses of the organism. To emphasize the artist in Freud is not to diminish his significance for science. Despite the validity of radical criti…
