Responsibility and Community
Epidemics are times of negotiation between the individual and the collective. The British realist novel, with its emphasis on possessive individualism, turns in the mid-nineteenth century to engage a larger population brought into view, in large part, by the emergence of statistical models of public health. Dickens is critically engaged in this process in Bleak House, which shows the difficulties of negotiating between the plot of individual agen…
Victorian Skin
In Victorian Skin , Pamela K. Gilbert uses literary, philosophical, medical, and scientific discourses about skin to trace the development of a broader discussion of what it meant to be human in the nineteenth century. Where is subjectivity located? How do we communicate with and understand each other's feelings? How does our surface, which contains us and presents us to others, function and what does it signify? As Gilbert shows, for Victorians,…

The Cambridge Companion to Sensation Fiction
In 1859 the popular novelist Wilkie Collins wrote of a ghostly woman, dressed from head to toe in white garments, laying her cold, thin hand on the shoulder of a young man as he walked home late one evening. His novel The Woman in White became hugely successful and popularised a style of writing that came to be known as sensation fiction. This Companion highlights the energy, the impact and the inventiveness of the novels that were written in 'se…

A Companion to Sensation Fiction
Michael Holland, Geoffrey Gill and Sean Burrell, Cholera and Conflict
This little volume, subvented and published at a very low cost by the Thackray Museum and attractively illustrated, may be of interest to those focusing on local history, and especially civil disturbances. It places civil disturbance at the centre of several local histories and collates information about such events, providing a useful table of these kinds of events across several localities. The collection follows on a previous local history res…
History and Its Ends in Chartist Epic
In the mid-1800s, two significant and widely read Chartist poems appeared, both written in prison by Chartist organizers, and both using the epic form to interrogate the present, body forth a utopian future, and rewrite a history conceived both as broadly human and specifically national. These long poems, Thomas Cooper's Purgatory of Suicides (1845) and Ernest Jones's The New World , first published in 1851 and then republished after 1857 as the …
