British literature and archaeology, 1880-1930 reveals how British
writers and artists across the long turn of the twentieth century
engaged with archaeological discourse-its artefacts, landscapes,
bodies, and methods-uncovering the materials of the past to
envision radical possibilities for the present and future. This
project traces how archaeology shaped major late-Victorian and
modern discussions: informing debates over shifting gender roles;
facilitating the development of queer iconography and the recovery
of silenced or neglected histories; inspiring artefactual forgery
and transforming modern conceptions of authenticity; and helping
writers and artists historicise the traumas of the First World War.
Ultimately unearthing archaeology at the centre of these major
discourses, this book simultaneously positions literary and
artistic engagements with the archaeological imagination as forms
of archaeological knowledge in themselves. -- .
