The first time a casually racist reference crops up in the Victorian texts I teach, I tell my students that the presence of slurs and stereotypes in Victorian literature reflects the prevalence of racism in Victorian society. I give them some historical context for the racism whenever possible and smile stoically. Yes, I say, that expression in the novel I've made you purchase and that I'm encouraging you to find fascinatingisindeed racist. Let's talk about how racist it is and why!

The Victorian Period is a remarkable period in the history of literature as a lot of transformations took place in this era.

Is the city knowable? What are the modes of representation of the Victorian city?

ON 1 JANUARY 1901, at the beginning of a new century, the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed a political entity by the federation of six separate British colonies. Queen Victoria's formal assent to the necessary legislation of the Westminster Parliament was one of her last official acts; she died on 22 January. For all the tyranny of 20,000 kilometres distance, the impress of the monarch on her far-flung colony was evident. Two of the states of the Commonwealth, Victoria and Queensland, had been named for her. When the Port Phillip settlement separated from New South Wales in 1851, it be

There has been an intriguing range of material published concerning Victorian painting since Victorian Literature and Culture last offered an assessment of the field. These books, including exhibition catalogues, monographs, and collections of essays, represent new and important sources for research in Victorian art and its cultural contexts. Most striking of all during this interval has been the range of exhibitions, from focus on the Pre-Raphaelites to major installations of such Victorian High Olympians/High Renaissance painters as Frederic, Lord Leighton and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

This paper analyses Diane Setterfield’s debut novel The Thirteenth Tale (2006), positing it as a neo-Victorian Gothic text and paying special attention to the motifs of doubles and motherlessness, so as to examine the ideas of identity, orig

In Sartor Resartus (1831), Thomas Carlyle wrote that “the loss of his religious Belief was the loss of everything” (129; bk. 2, ch. 7).

Abstract:

Ecofeminism was formally proposed in the 1970s and widely applied to sociology, religion, and political science, and plenty of other disciplines. Indeed, some visionary female writers applied ecofeminism theory to literary writing as early as the Victorian period, with the awakening of female thought. Jane Eyre, a classic work of the period, explores the connection between nature and female consciousness and reveals the tragedy of men mutilating and oppressing women and nature in the 19th century. The novel depicts men's dominance and oppression of nature and women in a way that subverts binar
