The 1890s were once seen as marginal within the larger field of
Victorian studies, which tended to privilege the realist novel and
the authors of the mid-century. In recent decades, the fin de
siècle has come to be viewed as one of the most dynamic decades of
the Victorian era. Viewed by writers and artists of the period as a
moment of opportunity, transition, and urgency, the 1890s are
pivotal for understanding the parameters of the field of Victorian
studies itself. This volume makes a case for why the decade
continues to be an area of perennial fascination, focusing on
transnational connections, gender and sexuality, ecological
concerns, technological innovations, and other current critical
trends. This collection both calls attention to the diverse range
of literature and art being produced during this period and
foregrounds the relevance of the Victorian era's final years to
issues and crises that face us today.
