What does it mean to focus on the decade as a unit of literary
history? Emerging from the shadows of iconic Victorian authors such
as Eliot and Tennyson, the 1880s is a decade that has been too
readily overlooked in the rush to embrace end-of-century decadence
and aestheticism. The 1880s witnessed new developments in
transatlantic networks, experiments in lyric poetry, the decline of
the three-volume novel, and the revaluation of authors, journalists
and the reading public. The contributors to this collection explore
the case for the 1880s as both a discrete point of literary
production, with its own pressures and provocations, and as part of
literature's sense of its expanded temporal and geographical reach.
The essays address a wide variety of authors, topics and genres,
offering incisive readings of the diverse forces at work in the
shaping of the literary 1880s.
