In this collection of interdisciplinary essays, experts from
Britain and the United States in the fields of nineteenth-century
literature, and social and cultural history explore new directions
in the field of Victorian life writing. Chapters examine a varied
yet interrelated range of genres, from the biography and
autobiography, to the relatively neglected diary, collective
biography, and obituary. Reflecting the rich research being
conducted in this area, the contributors link life writing to the
formation of gendered and class-based identities; the politics of
the Victorian family; and the broader professional, political,
colonial, and literary structures in which social and kinship
relations were implicated. A wide variety of Victorian works are
considered, from the diary of the Radical Samuel Bamford, to the
diary of the homosexual George Ives; from autobiographies of
professional men to collective biographies of eminent women.
Embracing figures as diverse as Gandhi, Wilde, and Bradlaugh, the
collection explores the way in which narratives contested one
another in a society that devoted an abundance of cultural energy
to writing about, and reading of, lives.
