This volume explores the politics and poetics of Victorian surfaces
in their manifold manifestations. In so doing, it examines various
cultural products 'as they are' and highlights the art of surface
composition in the Victorian era as well as the socio-cultural
ramifications of the preoccupation with the exterior. By closely
reading the various surfaces materialising in Victorian literature
and culture, the individual contributions explore the dialectics of
surface and depth in Victorian (and Neo-Victorian) cultures as well
as the legibility of surfaces. They look into the surfaces of
literary narratives, paintings, and film but also into natural
surfaces such as skin or bark. Each chapter foregrounds what is
present rather than absent in a text, while also paying attention
to the surfaces that become manifest on the diegetic level of the
text, be they cloth, landscapes, or human bodies or faces. This is
an open access book.
