People today live in a world that encourages spread and growth. Even as the globe faces an unprecedented series of climate disasters, people keep expecting the tools of capitalism to somehow free them from the consequences of capitalism itself. Audre Lorde famously critiqued this strategy as hoping the “master’s tools” will “dismantle the master’s house.” This article covers Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts and Bram Stoker’s The White Worm to reveal how nin…
Outbreak
One can hardly read a Victorian text without encountering contagious diseases, those striving against them, or those marked by them: from the tuberculous resonances in Dracula (1897) to Jonathan Hutchinson’s (1828–1913) syphilography, Mary Seacole’s pioneering nursing and treatment of cholera in Panama (Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands, 1857), and finally Bleak House’s Esther, disfigured by smallpox. This Roundtable asks how the…

Napier also misses several points and allusions that would have helped bol…

Seeing Things
This essay presents a new reading of Strindberg's The Father in the light of developing lens technology during the late nineteenth century. By situating this play within the late-nineteenth-century material culture of microscopes and alongside Strindberg's own writings about his encounters with microscopic experimentation, the essay exposes the play as darkly comedic, upending its traditional reading as a tragedy. Recasting the play in this light…
