Dr Bob Nicholson

I'm a historian, writer, and broadcaster. I research the history of nineteenth-century popular culture and love to unearth stories that reveal surprising new things about the Victorians.

I've written for The Guardian, History Today, and BBC History Magazine. I've presented stories for BBC Radio 4 and Radio 3. Most recently, I wrote and presented the series Killing Victoria (2023) on BBC Sounds.

I'm available for interviews, presenting work, public talks, historical consultancy, and any other jobs where a historian might come in handy!

Historian

Historian

I’m an expert on the history of nineteenth-century Britain. My research focuses on the period’s popular culture, leisure, and entertainment. I’m passionate about challenging the old stereotype that the Victorians were  ‘not amused’.

If you want to hear the jokes that made Victorians laugh, learn how to mix the cocktails they drank on a night out, or discover what was printed in the period’s bestselling books and newspapers, then I’m the historian for you!

I regularly give interviews for news articles and magazine features, and I’ve appeared as an expert historian on a range of podcasts, radio, and tv documentaries. I’m happy to talk about any aspect of nineteenth century life and culture, but I’m at my best on the topics below.

The Media

I’m an expert on the history of Victorian newspapers and magazines. I’ve researched everything from highbrow broadsheets like The Times, to low-brow crime papers like the Illustrated Police News, popular magazines like Tit-Bits, satirical publications like Punch, and comics like Ally Sloper’s Half Holiday. I once went viral and made headlines of my own by complaining about the shocking misrepresentation of newspapers in period dramas!

Presenter:  Exploring the history of Victorian tabloids for Radio 4's Making History.

Interview: Discussing press coverage of the Jack the Ripper murders on Hallie Rubenhold's Bad Women podcast.

Writer: Reflecting on the history of short-lived newspapers for The Guardian.

Socials: A viral twitter thread exposing the misrepresentation of newspapers in period dramas.

Laughter and Comedy

For the last decade, I’ve been on a mission to discover what made the Victorians laugh. I’ve uncovered thousands of long-forgotten jokes from the nineteenth century, some of which I’ve shared online via the @OldJokeArchive. If you want to cringe at Victorian puns, hear the jokes they told at dinner parties, or need help deciphering obscure bits of nineteenth-century satire then drop me a line.

Presenter:  Telling Victorian jokes on the streets of Liverpool for Radio 4's Making History.

Interview: Discussing the history of Victorian comedy on the History Hack podcast.

Writer: Reflecting on historical shifts in comic taste for History Today.

Socials: A thread of jokes in which witty Victorian women rebuff the advances of men.

Leisure and
Entertainment

I’m fascinated by what the Victorians did for fun. I’ve researched the development of music hall and the emergence of the first stand-up comedians.

My current research explores the reception of American popular culture in Victorian Britain, including the surprisingly early arrival of cocktails and the celebrity of performing cowboys like Buffalo Bill.

I’ve also investigated the strange history of Victorian parlour games and their shockingly risqué forfeits. Let me tell you about the time a Hungarian impresario transformed Earls Court into a replica of Venice, complete with canals and authentic gondolas!

Presenter: Discussing (and drinking) Victorian cocktails for Radio 4's Making History.

Victorian women

I’m passionate about recovering the experiences of Victorian women — particularly ones who subverted stereotypes about the period. I’ve written about the experiences of ‘American girls’ in Victorian Britain, researched the history of professional female joke writers, and I’m currently co-editing a book for Bloomsbury titled Nineteenth Century Women in Power alongside historians Dr Fern Riddell and Dr Emma Butcher.

Presenter:  Enjoying the responses of witty Victorian 'spinsters' for Radio 3's Essential Classics.

Socials: Illustrated news stories in which Victorian women respond to harassment by men.

Crime and Punishment

I'm interested in the relationship between crime and the Victorian media. My Masters dissertation explored representations of glamorous conmen and swindlers in the period's newspapers. My knowledge of Victorian crime and policing was key to researching the series Killing Victoria. More recently, I've turned my attention to the history of police corruption. If you want to understand the roots of our modern-day fascination with true crime and detective fiction, let me tell you how the Victorian transformed murder into entertainment on an industrial scale.


Presenter:  the histories of the police, courtroom trials, and imprisonment run throughout my BBC podcast series, Killing Victoria.

Love and Sex

I've researched the history of Victorian 'matrimonial adverts' — an early version of Tinder— and investigated the seedy world of Victorian pornography. If you want to learn about nineteenth-century 'leg mania', the rise and fall of the first lads mags, or the time a newspaper was shut down because it printed too many 'artistic' illustrations then get in touch.

Christmas

I've researched the history of Christmas, with a particular focus on how the Victorians entertained themselves at home during the festive season. I can talk about the history of Christmas crackers, dinner parties, magazines, ghost stories, Christmas trees, festive jokes, and a dangeous game called 'Snapdragon' that was once a treasured yule-tide tradition.

Interview:  discussing the history of humour and parlour games for Channel 5's Our Victorian Christmas.

Killing Victoria

At 6pm on 10 June 1840, the gates of Buckingham Palace swung open. Queen Victoria drove out to take the air in Hyde Park, accompanied by her husband, Prince Albert. As their open-topped carriage cut through the cheering crowds on Constitution Hill, an 18-year-old boy drew a duelling pistol from his pocket and fired at the Queen.

Edward Oxford was the first of seven men to attack Victoria during her long reign. This talk, based on my hit BBC podcast series, explores some of these extraordinary assaults and investigates the men behind them. It showcases many archival discoveries that we couldn't feature in an audio podcast, including photographs, illustrations, police reports, and home office files.

We ARE  not  Amused!

What did it take to make a Victorian laugh? Queen Victoria might famously have claimed that 'we are not amused', but her subjects wouldn't have agreed. They loved to tell jokes, play pranks, and watch live comedy.

This talk reveals how Britain's sense of humour changed during the nineteenth century, as ribald jokes of the Georgian era were challenged by new ideas about public taste and respectability. But while the Victorians were more polite in public, they still told racy jokes in private and loved practical jokes.

We'll explore the work of professional Victorian humourists, who churned out dozens of fresh gags per day, and the surprising popularity of importedAmerican comedy. We'll also meet a Victorian anti-laughter campaigner who thought that humour could be fatal to our health! Brace yourself for some extraordinarily bad puns...

Buffalo Bill's Rival

In 1887, William F Cody - better known as Buffalo Bill - was one of the most famous men on the planet. His spectacular Wild West Show wowed over a million Londoners, including Queen Victoria, and made him the talk of the town.

Meanwhile, up in Liverpool, a different cowboy was also on a mission to take Britain by storm. Colonel Joseph Shelley, alias Mexican Joe, crossed the Atlantic with his own troupe of roughriders and Native Americans. He took Liverpool by storm and looked set to challenge Buffalo Bill as the world's top cowboy, but then things started to unravel...

This talk traces the rise and fall of Mexican Joe and uses it to explore the birth of cowboy mania in Victorian Britain.

In 2019, I designed and co-curated an exhibition at The Atkinson in Southport. We Are Not Amused explored the history of nineteenth-century comedy and laughter, challenging the assumption that the Victorians were dour and humourless. The exhibition attracted more than 18,000 visitors.

The exhibition featured a wide range of objects and displays, including:

I've published over a dozen articles in academic books and journals. You can find a full list of these publications on my Google Scholar profile. Here are some highlights:

‘You Kick the Bucket; We Do the Rest!’: Jokes and the Culture of Reprinting in the Transatlantic Press'
Journal of Victorian Culture, 17:3, (2012), pp: 273-286.

Winner of the Journal of Victorian Culture Essay Prize.

In December 1893 the Conservative candidate for Flintshire addressed an audience at Mold Constitutional Club. After he had finished attacking Gladstone and the local Liberal incumbent, he ended his speech with a joke. He advised the Conservative party to adopt, with regard to the government, the sign of an American undertaker: ‘You kick the bucket; we do the rest’. How did a sign belonging to a Nevadan undertaker become the subject of a joke told at a political meeting in North Wales?

This unlikely question forms the basis of this article. Using new digital archives, it tracks the journey of the gag from its origins in New York, its travels around America, its trip across the Atlantic, its circulation throughout Britain and its eventual leap into political discourse. The article uses the joke to illuminate the workings of a broader culture of transatlantic reprinting. During the final quarter of the nineteenth century miscellaneous ‘snippets’ cut from the pages of the American press became a staple feature of Britain's bestselling newspapers and magazines. This article explores how these texts were imported, circulated and continually rewritten in dynamic partnership between authors, editors and their readers.

‘Capital Company’: Writing and Telling Jokes in Victorian Britain.'
In Louise Lee (ed.), Victorian Comedy and Laughter: Conviviality, Jokes and Dissent, Palgrave, (2020), pp: 109-239.

This chapter considers the place of joke-writing and joke-telling in Victorian culture. Firstly, it outlines four ways in which Victorian observers accounted for the creation of jokes: (1) the work of anonymous professional humourists; (2) the observation and comic reinterpretation of real-life incidents; (3) spontaneous wit and (4) the endurance of seemingly ‘eternal’ jokes. Next, it considers how and why jokes were performed at Victorian social occasions, such as dinner parties, and explores their function as a form of conversational capital. Finally, the chapter traces the mass circulation of jokes in popular Victorian newspapers and magazines. As a case study, it tracks the reprinting of jokes from a single issue of Punch magazine and considers the ambiguous copyright status of these texts.

'The Most-Talked-Of Creature in the World: The American Girl in Victorian Print Culture.'
In Alexis Easley et al (eds.), Women, Periodicals, and Print Culture in Britain, 1830s-1900s: The Victorian Period, Edinburgh University Press, (2019), pp: 178-196.

As a celebrated and vilified figure in the British press, the 'American Girl' was a prominent form of contested femininity in Victorian Britain, one which Nicholson suggests was reflective of a growing fetishisation of America in British print culture, as well as a broader cultural anxiety about the effects of Americanisation. If Linton’s ‘Girl of the Period’ constituted a threat to the moral health of the nation from within, then the American girl was seen by many as an invasive threat to femininity from beyond Britain’s borders. Nicholson’s essay demonstrates the potency of the girl as a symbolic force in Victorian Britain, as well as the crucial role of periodicals in shaping the various, often competing cultural forms that she assumed.
