Alfred Tennyson and William Burges
This article focuses on two artefacts from Burges’s eclectic and prolific output: his illustration of Tennyson’s first dramatic monologue, ‘St Simeon Stylites’ (exhibited in 1861) and the bed he designed for his own Tower House bedroom, which features a painted panel illustrating a scene from Tennyson’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’. Considering image and artefact as interpretations of their source texts, I suggest how each points towards what we might call …
The Edinburgh Companion to Nonsense
Provides a wide-ranging account of the different disciplinary, critical and theoretical contexts relevant to the study of nonsense Includes new perspectives on canonical nonsense works Offers a provocative revaluation of theories and definitions of nonsense, urging an understanding of the term as relevant to a broad range of cultural forms and texts Includes essays by a collection of internationally recognised scholars working on nonsense and rel…
The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction
The book explores the relationship between early Victorian popular fiction and radical politics – the way Newgate calendars and novels, penny bloods and crime or ‘low’ literature could intermittently express radical or even Chartist arguments about the need for working-class agency and empowerment. Offering new readings of Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, The Mysteries of London and many other novels and short stories from the 1830s and 1840s, primar…

Long Vacation Pastorals
In the opening passage of A Room of One's Own , Virginia Woolf catches herself, and is subsequently caught out, in a moment of reflection on the banks of a river, within the grounds of a barely fictionalised “Oxbridge University”: Here then was I (call me Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael or by any name you please – it is not a matter of any importance) sitting on the banks of a river a week or two ago in fine October weather, lost in thoug…

Boz, Ba and Derry Down Derry
In nineteenth‐century fiction and poetry, names are frequently shown to be unstable, unreliable and occasionally dangerous. From the limericks of Edward Lear to the fiction of Charles Dickens, Victorian literature seems to pre‐empt Jacques Derrida's deconstructionist reading of name and signature, which insists that a name can never belong to the thing or person that it names, but has an independent existence in the system of signs that make up l…
Nursery Poetics
“ THE PRINCESS ,” TENNYSON 's narrative poem about a radically feminist princess and a cross-dressing prince, framed by an imagined argument between Victorian men and women concerning the role of women in modern society, has, understandably, formed the central text in a number of articles about nineteenth-century gender poetics. Critics have been eager to engage with the fictional authors of the narrative, casting Tennyson as, on the one hand, a …
