Aging and Generations in Margaret Oliphant’s Fiction
The concept of generation has two dimensions—familial and social—that together make it central to lived experience of temporality and worth salvaging for both Aging studies and Victorian studies. This essay showcases the concept’s affordances through the work of Margaret Oliphant (1828–97). Oliphant suggests that aging, rather than being a smooth continuum, is relational, given meaning by the coalescences and discontinuities of familial and socia…

Collective Biography and Micro-periodization
Collective biography contributes to processes of periodization. The article examines how Victorians periodized their own era, through a corpus linguistic analysis of the Dictionary of National Biography (1885-1901). This apparently monumental British imperial project was disproportionately populated by very recent lives, which threatened the demarcation of past from present. Corpus stylistic analysis is used to identify trends among the 8,000 DNB…
Panoramas, Patriotic Voyeurism, and the “Indian Mutiny”
The panorama was from its outset a medium of contemporary history. This article examines its contribution to initial historical narratives about the “Indian Mutiny” (1857–58). Nineteenth-century critics often saw the form as voyeuristic, while modern scholars have critiqued its chauvinistic patriotism. The article uses panorama paratexts, adverts, and reviews to recover the visitor experience and to compare these with contemporary would-be histor…
Panoramas and Compilations in Nineteenth-Century Britain
This book shows that panoramas and compilations are intertwined with each other and relevant across the whole nineteenth century

Generations
T HE term "generations" is everywhere. Successive demographic cohorts are construed as being in zero-sum competition over authority, airtime, resources, or power. From serious sociological and economic analysis to pop-quiz punditry, it is taken for granted that the idea of a generation is useful. In cultural historiography, too, the term is ascribed explanatory force: first and second generation Romantic poets, "Bloomsbury" defying "Victorian," a…
Harriet Martineau and the Birth of Disciplines
Harriet Martineau has been being revived for a long time. It is a slow task, perhaps because she is not easily championed as the property of any one discipline. Her fiction is unlikely to make it o

Victorian Narratives of the Recent Past
This book explains why narrating the recent past is always challenging, and shows how it was particularly fraught in the nineteenth century. The legacy of Romantic historicism, the professionalization of the historical discipline, and even the growth of social history, all heightened the stakes. This book brings together Victorian histories and novels to show how these parallel genres responded to the challenges of contemporary history writing in…
Feminism, Nationalism, Separatism? The Case of Alice Stopford Green
Alice Stopford Green, widow of proto-social and Teutonic nationalist historian J.R. Green, who went on to become an Irish nationalist historian and campaigner, complicates our view of fin-de-siècle women writers. Surprisingly for an amateur historian in an age of professionalization, she took a consciously separatist position, privileging the particular over the general, and defining her writing as both female and Irish. \n \nThis article focuses…
