"Late nineteenth-century Britain experienced an unprecedented explosion of visual
print culture and a simultaneous rise in literacy across social classes. New printing
technologies facilitated quick and cheap dissemination of images--illustrated books,
periodicals, cartoons, comics, and ephemera--to a mass readership. This Victorian
visual turn prefigured the present-day impact of the Internet on how images are produced
and shared, both driving and reflecting the visual culture of its time. From this
starting point, Drawing on the Victorians sets out to explore the relationship between
Victorian graphic texts and today's steampunk, manga, and other neo-Victorian genres
that emulate and reinterpret their predecessors. Neo-Victorianism is a flourishing
worldwide phenomenon, but one whose relationship with the texts from which it takes
its inspiration remains under explored. In this collection, scholars from literary
studies, cultural studies, and art history consider contemporary works--Alan Moore's
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Moto Naoko's Lady Victorian, and Edward Gorey's
Gashlycrumb Tinies, among others--alongside their antecedents, from Punch's 1897 Jubilee
issue to Alice in Wonderland and more. They build on previous work on Neo-Victorianism
to affirm that the past not only influences but converses with the present. Contributors:
