War, wounding and intimacies
In war and its aftermath, new relationships are forged through acts of wounding and caring for the wounded and for the dead. This special issue focusses on the injured and injuring body as the site at which emerge constellations of hostility and intimacy between, variously, combatants, other military and medical personnel, and civilians. The articles consider unexpected, previously undiscussed war intimacies across several major conflicts of the …
Dickens and the Business of Death
Death energized Dickens. In his final months of life he electrified audiences in public readings, as he repeatedly delivered Sikes’s murder of Nancy. These passionate performances may have hastened
Contested Objects

Victorian Masculinities, or Military Men of Feeling
This chapter introduces an unlikely figure of ideal Victorian masculinity, the military man of feeling. It uses Thackeray’s exemplary Colonel Newcome, hero of The Newcomes (1853–5), to focus a number of debates central to Victorian ideas of manliness: the composition of the gentleman, the democratization of manly virtue, the social and national roles of army men across ranks. Building upon excellent recent work on the private lives and experience…

Victorian Sexualities
The popular stereotype of the prudish Victorians has persisted for too long. This article charts the rethinking of Victorian sexuality in the academy and beyond. It presents a detailed examination of the effects of sexological categorisation, looking at the legacy of the invention of homosexuality and heterosexuality for approaches to the period. In particular it explores the ramifications of Michel Foucault’s discursive thesis, under which the h…
Inscribing Friendship
Forster's Life of Charles Dickens (1872–4) was described in contemporary reviews as ‘The Autobiography of John Forster with Recollections of Charles Dickens’, and continues to be charged with making Forster a disproportionately large character in Dickens's life story. This article takes a different approach to The Life, viewing Forster's biography of his friend and literary advisee as a significant document for the exploration of personal and pro…
