What is steampunk? Fashion craze, literary genre, lifestyle - or
all of the above? Playing with the scientific innovations and
aesthetics of the Victorian era, steampunk creatively warps history
and presents an alternative future, imagined from a
nineteenth-century perspective. In her interdisciplinary book,
Claire Nally delves into this contemporary subculture, explaining
how the fashion, music, visual culture, literature and politics of
steampunk intersect with theories of gender and sexuality.
Exploring and occasionally critiquing the ways in which gender
functions in the movement, she addresses a range of different
issues, including the controversial trope of the Victorian asylum;
gender and the graphic novel; the legacies of colonialism; science
and the role of Ada Lovelace as a feminist steampunk icon. Drawing
upon interviews, theoretical readings and textual analysis, Nally
asks: why are steampunks fascinated by our Victorian heritage, and
what strategies do they use to reinvent history in the present?
