Neo-Victorian Things: Re-Imagining Nineteenth-Century Material
Cultures in Literature and Film is the first volume to focus
solely on the replication, reconstruction, and re-presentation of
Victorian things. It investigates the role of materiality in
contemporary returns to the past as a means of assessing the
function of things in remembering, revisioning, and/or reimagining
the nineteenth century. Examining iterations of material culture in
literature, film and popular television series, this volume offers
a reconsideration of nineteenth-century things and the
neo-Victorian cultural forms that they have inspired, animated, and
even haunted. By turning to new and relatively underexplored
strands of neo-Victorian materiality—including opium
paraphernalia, slave ships, clothing, and biographical
objects—and interrogating the critical role such objects play in
reconstructing the past, this volume offers ways of thinking
about how mis/apprehensions of material culture in the nineteenth
century continue to shape our present understanding of things.
