Note(s) : Publié à partir du séminaire 'Fashioning the Neo-Victorians : iterations of the nineteenth
century in contemporary literature and culture' organisé en avril 2010, Université
Friedrich-Alexander d'Erlangen-Nuremberg, Allemagne. - Includes bibliographical references (p. [209]-225) and index
"The Neo-Victorian in Contemporary Culture provides a comprehensive reflection of
the processes of canonization, (un)pleasurable consumption and the emerging predominance
of topics and theoretical concerns in neo-Victorianism. The repetitions and reiterations
of the Victorian in contemporary culture document an unbroken fascination with the
histories, technologies and achievements, as well as the injustices and atrocities,
of the nineteenth century. They also reveal that, in many ways, contemporary identities
are constructed through a Victorian mirror image fabricated by the desires, imaginings
and critical interests of the present. Providing analyses of current negotiations
of nineteenth-century texts, discourses and traumas, this volume explores the contemporary
commodification and nostalgic recreation of the past. It brings together critical
perspectives of experts in the fields of Victorian literature and culture, contemporary
literature, and neo-Victorianism, with contributions by leading scholars in the field
including Rosario Arias, Cora Kaplan, Elizabeth Ho, Marie-Luise Kohlke and Sally Shuttleworth.
The Neo-Victorian in Contemporary Culture interrogates current fashions in neo-Victorianism
and their ideological leanings, the resurrection of cultural icons, and the reasons
behind our relationship with and immersion in Victorian culture"
