Biography

Chris Kent is a Professor Emeritus in the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the social history of artistic and literary professions in Britain from 1815 to 1914. His research primarily focuses on the concept of 'Bohemia' as both a social and cultural idea, as well as a physical space, especially in London. His interests extend to Victorian journalism and the novel, where he investigates the works of journalists and novelists from that period. He is currently completing a study titled 'West-End Clubland: Sociability, Status, Gender in London, 1815-1914,' which examines the social dynamics of gentlemen's and ladies' clubs in the 19th century. Additionally, he has commenced research on 'Gentlemen Tailors: Clothing the Male Body, 1840-1914,' further exploring the intersection of fashion, identity, and masculinity in Victorian society.
