Victorian Secrecy explores the myriad ways in which knowledge was both zealously accumulated and jealously guarded by individuals, institutions, and government entities in Victorian Britain. Offering a wide variety of approaches, this interdisciplinary collection provides a richly textured account of what was at stake individually, aesthetically, and culturally in the Victorians' clandestine activities.
