The original essays in Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to
Literature mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge
rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge
scholars working in the field aim at opening fresh discussion;
instead of emphasizing settled consensus they direct their readers
to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate. This volume opens up,
in new and innovative ways, a range of dimensions, some familiar
and some more obscure, of late Victorian and modern literature and
culture, primarily in British contexts. Late Victorian into Modern
emphasises the in-between: the gradual changeover from one period
to the next. The volume examines shared developments, points out
continuities rather than ruptures, and explores and exploits an
understanding of the late nineteenth to the early twentieth
centuries as a cultural moment in which new knowledges were forming
with particular speed and intensity. The organising principle of
this book is to retain a key focus on literary texts, broadly
understood to include familiar categories of genre as well as
extra-textual elements such as press and publishing history,
performance events and visual culture, while remaining keenly
attentive to the inter-relations between text and context in the
period. Individual chapters explore such topics as Celticism, the
New Woman, popular fictions, literatures of empire, aestheticism,
periodical culture, political formations, avant-garde poetics, and
theatricality.
