Urban Transportation and London's Imagined Infrastructure
Historians and literary critics often observe that Victorian London had no Baron Haussmann to impose a rational, legible order on its tangle of streets. But the itineraries traced by early forms of public transportation—omnibuses, hackney cabs, and railways—nonetheless invited a reimagining and remapping of the city. Charles Dickens's Sketches by Boz (1836), midcentury encyclopedic cab fare guides, and the debates that preceded the building of th…
Victorian Contingencies
Anticipations of an unpredictable future : nineteenth-century life insurance and Babbage's calculating engines -- Past-tense futures : history and temporality rewritten in Lyell, Eliot, and Darwin -- Pivotal moments, diverging paths : visual narratives in board games, protean views, and Carroll's Alice books -- Two experiments in probabilistic thinking : Maxwell's "Demon" and Eliot's Daniel Deronda -- Epilogue : the pleasures of undetermined futu…
Victorian Contingencies
Contingency is not just a feature of modern politics, finance, and culture—by thinking contingently, nineteenth-century Britons rewrote familiar narratives and upended forgone conclusions. This book shows how scientists, novelists, and consumers engaged in new formal and material experiments with cause and effect, past and present, that actively undermined routine certainties. The book traces contingency across a wide range of materials and media…

“Come buy, come buy,” runs the goblin merchants’ call in Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market, a refrain that Victorian audiences would have recognized at once.1 But if such cries were familiar to yo

Slow Causality
Both theorists and activists confront the challenge of representing the often untraceable causalities of climate change and, specifically, of linking action to effect over long periods. Nineteenth-century authors and scientists, faced with their own long temporal spans, devised strategies for representing the slow causalities of geological and generational processes, for which empirical evidence was often scarce. For writers like Charles Lyell, C…
Anonymous Connections
Anonymous Connections asks how the Victorians understood the ethical, epistemological, and biological implications of social belonging and participation. Specifically, Tina Choi considers the ways nineteenth-century journalists, novelists, medical writers, and social reformers took advantage of spatial frames-of-reference in a social landscape transforming due to intense urbanization and expansion. New modes of transportation, shifting urban demo…

The Railway Guide's Experiments in Cartography
More than compendia of departure times and fare information, popular railway guides sought to make sense of an unfamiliar journey for travelers, to lend coherence to and realign representation with what was otherwise a dislocating experience of time and space. Early versions suggested that narrative might provide legible coordinates for cartographic reorientation, while also inviting readers to transform themselves into authors and to script thei…
The Late-Victorian Histories of Indian Art Objects
Recent guidebooks for the Westerner traveling to Northern India generally refer the prospective visitor to a common range of cities around Delhi – Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur; within these, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's Pink City and nearby Amber Fort, and Udaipur's glamorous lake palaces usually merit must-see status. Until its refurbishment a few years ago, the Albert Hall Museum, an elaborate structure with old-fashioned interiors and a location a kil…
Vaccination, Poetry, and an Early-Nineteenth-Century Physiology of the Self
Vaccination, Poetry, and an Early-Nineteenth-Century Physiology of the Self Tina Young Choi (bio) Edward Jenner’s 1798 publication, An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, transformed the British public’s relationship to smallpox, one of the period’s most dreaded diseases. For decades, an older procedure known as inoculation or variolation, which involved the introduction of fluid or matter from another human smallpox vic…
Natural History's Hypothetical Moments
This essay focuses on the ways in which works by Robert Chambers, Charles Darwin, and George Eliot encouraged readers to imagine the future as contingent. But where Chambers alludes to Charles Babbage's computational engine and the period's life insurance industry to hint at the role of contingency in natural history, Darwin insists on the importance of contingently determined outcomes to speciation. The "Origin" consistently exercises the reader…

Narrating the Unexceptional
The fear of a widespread anthrax outbreak, which so consumed media, popular, and pharmaceutical attention in the last months of 2001, seems to have departed from the national spotlight nearly as quickly as it appeared. A fleeting and relatively contained episode in public health history rather than the large-scale medical danger it threatened at times to become, the outbreak of anthrax cases prompted a reaction that will likely be remembered as a…
Writing the Victorian City
A n essayist writing in the 1860 All the Year Round reflected that it concerns a man more to know his risks of the fifty illnesses that may throw him on his back, than the possible date of the one death that must come (Registration of Sickness 228). This seemingly unimpressive statement about the value of statistics is remarkable for a number of reasons. The editor, Charles Dickens, had himself famously caricatured and critiqued statistical studi…
