Moving
The gallery space is full of static objects but also of movement. This is the space Vernon Lee sought to understand, theorizing and experimenting about how art moves. Lee is enlisted here to help look at movement in one of Walter Sickert’s music-hall paintings
Sympathy–Antipathy in Daniel Deronda
This article argues that, in her final novel, Daniel Deronda , Eliot uses her eponymous protagonist to simultaneously exemplify and problematize the type of sympathy she had championed from the 1850s. Sympathetic affinity in the novel works like original ‘occult’ sympathy, irresistibly connecting non-adjacent things, and matched in its force by sympathy’s original twin, antipathy. The article investigates the novel’s antipathies, arguing that Eli…
The Science of Sympathy
Rob Boddice has provided an engaging exploration of three issues that were the source of much debate in the later Victorian period: vivisection, vaccination and eugenics. Boddice’s real focus, howe...
Emotions
The Victorians were clear that emotions matter in relation to literature and art. This chapter examines that conviction in relation to debates about sentiment and sentimentalism during the period. The moral value of emotional responses to literature was contested, with opponents of sentimentalism worried that far from being a moral good, sentiment was at best self-indulgent and at worst dangerous—especially for groups considered less likely to co…
The Foundation of the Unconscious
Is Empathy the End of Sentimentality
By the end of the century, and under pressure from new scientific theories of minds and emotions, the languages in which the Victorians understood the relationship between inner feeling and moral action came under great pressure. At the same time, the established association between aesthetic and moral value was being challenged by aestheticism's espousal of ‘art for art's sake’. This essay examines one very distinctive response to these issues: …

Sexual Selection, Automata and Ethics in George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss and Olive Schreiner's Undine and From Man to Man
For all its breadth and ambition, the nineteenth-century novel seldom strayed far from its meticulous charting of the processes of sexual selection. 2 These processes characterise the period of courtship, that crucial period central to the narrative construction of bourgeois femininity as a marriage project. By the end of the century, and the Victorian era, the novel was also one of the places in which the limitations of that project were coming …
Olive Schreiner and the Progress of Feminism
Book synopsis: Olive Schreiner and the Progress of Feminism explores two key areas: first, the debates taking place in England during the last two decades of the nineteenth century about the position of women; and, second, the volatile events of the 1890s in South Africa, which culminated in war between the British Empire and the Boer republics in 1899. Through a detailed reading of the fictional and non-fictional writing of one extraordinary wom…
