The Visitors by Rupert Christiansen
An account of some of the remarkable foreigners who came to 19th-century Britain bringing with them new ideas, values and skills. These people succeeded in cracking open the country's insularity, thereby making the Victorian Age far more liberal and dynamic than we commonly believe it to have been.
Rupert Christiansen has been writing about the arts for the Daily Telegraph since 1996. His many books include Prima Donna, Paris Babylon, and Romantic Affinities, which received the Somerset Maugham Award. A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature since 1997, he teaches at Keble College, Oxford and lives in London.
