Victorian Turns, NeoVictorian Returns: Essays on Fiction and
Culture brings together essays by scholars of international
reputation in nineteenth-century British literature. Encompassing
new work on Victorian writers and subjects as well as later
readings, rewritings, and adaptations, the two-part arrangement of
this collection highlights an ongoing dialogue. Part One: Victorian
Turns focuses principally on some of the major novelists of the
period-George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte-while
placing them in a wide cultural context, in particular that
provided by the intellectual journals to which many of the
novelists contributed. Reflecting the diversity of debate in the
Victorian period, contributors' essays range across key topics of
the day, including the woman question, class relations, language,
science, work, celebrity, and travel. English writers'
consciousness of the challenging contemporary developments in
French literature forms a significant and persistent theme. In Part
Two: NeoVictorian Returns, the rich and varied afterlife of
Victorianism is touched on. NeoVictorianism in contemporary
literature and film demonstrates an ongoing and productive
engagement with an age which established the social and cultural
directions of the modern world. In rewritings, appropriations, and
colonial writings-back, and in the persistent power of
nineteenth-century images and stories in modern cinema, the
period's social, cultural and political modernity continues to
flourish.
