Victorian Sensations

Description: Dr Hannah Fry, Paul McGann and Philippa Perry explore the thrilling era of the 1890s, a period of great change and technological innovation that inspired and reshaped the cultural landscape in ways that still resonate today. From medical quacks pushing battery-powered cure-alls to the frightening new electric chair and the seemingly magical X-ray photography, Victorian identities and world views were radically altered as their world changed around them. Hannah also examines the earliest attempts at powered flight, as well as a much simpler technology that nonetheless brought profound changes to women's independence: the bicycle.
