This book argues that 'deviance' represents a central issue in
neo-Victorian culture, and that the very concept of
neo-Victorianism is based upon the idea of 'diverging' from
accepted notions regarding the nineteenth-century frame of mind.
However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been
revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with
the present but proves - by introducing what is perhaps a more
pertinent description of the nineteenth century - that it was much
more 'deviant' than it is usually depicted and perceived. Deviance
in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation explores
a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from
movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and
educational purpose of this study is to stimulate readers to
approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon.
