1 y separately published work icon Neo-Victorian Studies Marie-Luise Kohlke (editor), 2008 Swansea : Swansea University , 2008- 6415596 2008 periodical (1 issues)

'Neo-Victorian Studies is a peer-reviewed, inter-disciplinary eJournal dedicated to the exploration of the contemporary fascination with re-imagining the nineteenth century and its varied literary, artistic, socio-political and historical contexts in both British and international frameworks. Perhaps most evident in the proliferation of so-called neo-Victorian novels, the trend is also discernible in a recent abundance of nineteenth century biographies, the continuing allure of art movements such as the pre-Raphaelites, popular cinema productions and TV adaptations, and historical re-evaluations in such fields as medicine, psychology, sexology, and studies in cultural memory. Neo-Victorian Studies provides a strategic forum to analyse the complicated investments of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in historical remembrance, revision, and reconstruction, to engage creatively with the period, and to stimulate international debate and exchange of ideas in this flourishing field of critical and artistic endeavour.

'The journal publishes both scholarly and creative work in the English language, as well as critical responses to topics raised in previous issues. In general, work submitted should be unpublished, though the editors will consider republication of creative work not previously considered in a neo-Victorian critical context or significant theoretical work on the subject, e.g. if otherwise unavailable in English translation. The editorial team invites submissions from researchers and creative artists in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, as well as practitioners of other disciplines, whose work specifically engages with the contemporary legacies of the nineteenth century. The use of the term ‘neo-Victorian’, it should be noted, is employed in the widest possible sense, so as not to be restricted to geographical British contexts or those of the British Empire and its one-time colonies. Hence essays and creative pieces dealing with nineteenth-century Asian, African, North and South American contexts, among others, are equally welcome.' (Source: http://www.neovictorianstudies.com/ )
