Victorian Dress in Contemporary Historical Fiction is the first
full-length study to investigate and attend to the deeply
suggestive and highly symbolic iterations of Victorian women’s
dress in the contemporary cultural imagination. Drawing upon a
range of popular and less well-studied neo-Victorian novels
published between 1990 and 2014, as well as their Victorian
counterparts, 19th-century illustrative material, and extant
Victorian garments, Danielle Dove explores the creative
possibilities afforded by dress and fashion as gendered sites of
agency and affect. Focusing on the relationship between texts and
textiles, she demonstrates how dress is central to the
narrativization, re-formulation, and re-fashioning of the material
past in the present. In its examination of the narrative
trajectories, lively vitalities, and material entanglements that
accrue to, and originate from, dress in the neo-Victorian novel,
this study brings a fresh approach to reading Victorian sartorial
culture. For researchers and students of Victorian and
neo-Victorian studies, dress history, material culture, and gender
studies, this volume offers a rich resource with which to
illuminate the power of fashion in fiction.
