The “Victorian Sensation” Creative Curation Project aims to showcase objects, issues, and events that caused “sensations” in the Victorian era.

The pages on this website present, curate, interpret, and analyze a collection of object, texts, and events–“sensational” things–from the Victorian era. They present the cultural significance of these objects and illuminate and interpret them.

“Victorian Sensation” is a project by students in Dr. Anna Gibson’s English 420W class at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh and English 453 class at North Carolina State University.
